Cincinnati Reds 2026 MLB Draft Tracker, Open Thread

The 2026 vintage of the Major League Baseball draft begins this afternoon, and we’re very much here for it. After all, gobbling up prospects with infinite upside lends ones thoughts towards a more promising future, and that’s just about all we’ve had to look forward to in the realm of the Cincinnati Reds for a […]

Hunter Greene strikes out 12 Cubs as Reds shutout NL Central rivals

Hunter Greene spent over three months on the shelf following his March surgery to cleanup loose bodies in his prized right elbow. Safe to say, when he returned for his season debut last weekend, things went about as poorly as they could have possibly gone. On Friday, though, the Reds officially got their ace back. […]

Spencer Steer to start in CF as Reds open series against Cubs

Spencer Steer has played just about everywhere across his college and professional careers. One place he has never played, though, is in CF. On the same day that news broke that Matt McLain would be heading to the 10-day IL with a calf strain he picked up shagging balls in CF as a player who […]

How to watch the Cincinnati Reds make their 2026 MLB draft picks this weekend

The 2026 Major League Baseball Draft begins in earnest tomorrow, July 11th, at 1:00 PM ET. And because everything must be a spectacle under commissioner Rob Manfred, it’s going to be a televised extravaganza across two days. Rounds 1-4 will be broadcast live on NBC (and streamed on Peacock) on Saturday from 1:00 PM ET […]

Reds activate Ke’Bryan Hayes, place Matt McLain on injured list

Ke’Bryan Hayes looked just 5 games at the minor league level during his rehab stint due to a lower back injury, but in that time he managed to produce with aplomb. At AAA Louisville, in particular, Hayes went 7 for 12 with a homer and 5 runs scored in just a trio of games, and […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies – Brady Singer vs. Jesus Luzardo

Lefty Jesus Luzardo signed a massive $135 million contract extension with the Philadelphia Phillies over the winter, and promptly started the 2026 season by falling completely flat on his face. He yielded 6 ER in his first start of the year, and his first four starts of the year featured a startling line: 22.2 IP, […]

The final Chase Burns start of the Reds first half

I do not know if the Cincinnati Reds have a season that is capable of salvage. What I do know, though, is that if it is to be salvaged, it will come on the backs of their select few superstars, of which Chase Burns leads the pack. The electric 23 year old has already compiled […]

How the Cincinnati Reds will navigate the Ke’Bryan Hayes conundrum

There may be a small corner of your brain that recalls the ugly 44 games that Ke’Bryan Hayes participated in for the Cincinnati Reds at the start of the 2026 season. The Reds were actually half-decent in the standings throughout that stint, somehow, but have fallen completely by the wayside in the time since Hayes […]

Zack Wheeler eviscerates Reds in 4-1 Phillies victory

After a day off on Monday, the Cincinnati Reds opened a crucial six-game homestand with their backs against the proverbial wall in this 2026 season. They stood at 41-48 and in last place in the National League’s Central division, and were about to welcome behemoths to town in the form of the Philadelphia Phillies and […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies – Andrew Abbott vs. Zack Wheeler

There are precious few things that Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler cannot defeat. That includes venous thoracic outlet syndrome, which shut him down in August of last season and cost him most of the month of April in 2026. At age 36, you may have begun to wonder if the end was near for the […]

The biggest, best trade chip on the Cincinnati Reds roster is…

After dropping the series to the Baltimore Orioles at home over the weekend, the last place Cincinnati Reds fell to just 41-48 on the season. To wrap the first half of their schedule prior to the All Star break, all they get to do is host the red hot Philadelphia Phillies (who are 20 games […]

The Cincinnati Reds had a miserable holiday weekend

You may not have had the opportunity to watch what the Cincinnati Reds were up to all weekend given the holiday, heat, and literal thousands of other things more enjoyable to do than watch this club try to play the sport of baseball. Thankfully, we here at Red Reporter are going to wrap up the […]

MLB Mock Draft Roundup – Who will the Cincinnati Reds select?

The 2026 edition of the MLB Draft begins this Saturday, July 11th, at 1:00 PM ET. Saturday will see teams make selections through the end of Round 4, while Sunday will conclude the draft with teams making picks 5 through 20 over the course of an 8-hour grind that will begin at 11:30 PM ET. […]

Cincinnati Reds hang on to beat Orioles in Sunday series finale

The Cincinnati Reds got a brilliant start from lefty Nick Lodolo, a Spencer Steer homer, and a timely insurance run courtesy of noted RBI-guy (and All Star) Sal Stewart and held on to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Sunday afternoon in Great American Ball Park. The victory made sure the Reds were not once […]

Sal Stewart, Chase Burns to represent Cincinnati Reds in MLB All Star Game

It’s not uncommon for the Cincinnati Reds to have a pair of representatives in Major League Baseball’s annual All Star Game in July. Frankly, it’s become both common and expected for them to do just that, particularly with a fireballing starting pitcher drafted 2nd overall with high expectations and with a position player lauded for […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds vs. Baltimore Orioles – Hunter Greene vs. Brandon Young

The Cincinnati Reds have been beseiged at Helm’s Deep for four days running. They sit at just 40-47 on the season, mired in last place in the National League Central and 7 full games back of the final NL Wild Card spot. That’s closer to the team in last place in the NL Wild Card […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds vs. Baltimore Orioles – Trevor Rogers vs. Brady Singer

The Cincinnati Reds welcome the Baltimore Orioles to Great American Ball Park on Friday for a quick three-game set. The 7:10 PM ET series opener will feature southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for the O’s, while the Reds will roll out veteran righty Brady Singer. It’s a matchup that’s somewhat emblematic of the two […]

In Edwin Arroyo Cincinnati Reds fans trust

For many Cincinnati Reds fans, the breakout we saw during Matt McLain’s half-season of excellence in 2023 still resonates quite loudly. It’s hard not to, really – he was a 1st round pick of the club and during his first shot at the big leagues looked like he was an immediate success story, posting a […]

Reds blast past Misiorowski, Brewers to win series finale in Milwaukee

Maybe all it takes for the Cincinnati Reds to morph back into playing good baseball is to face the absolute best, hardest-throwing arms in the game. Just days after thumping Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, the Reds took aim at Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski on Thursday afternoon in the series finale, and their aim […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Chase Burns vs. Jacob Misiorowski

The Cincinnati Reds have lost four straight games overall and all six of the games in which they have played the Milwaukee Brewers so far in 2026, and now they get to face the single most intimidating pitcher on the planet today. Great! Following yet another late game collapse on Wednesday evening, the Reds are […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Andrew Abbott vs. Shane Drohan

The Cincinnati Reds have lost three games in a row. They are just 19-34 over their last 53 games played, which is abysmal. They are the owners of an impossibly bad 4-19 record within the National League Central, and they have lost all five games in which they have played the Milwaukee Brewers so far […]

Hector Rodriguez named International League Player of the Month

It is getting increasingly difficult for the Cincinnati Reds to continue to keep prospect Hector Rodriguez stashed down with AAA Louisville. Hector struggled a bit during his first taste of AAA ball during the back half of 2025, hitting just .260/.304/.405 in 230 PA after ripping his way through the AA Southern League with the […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Rhett Lowder vs. Brandon Sproat

The Cincinnati Reds welcomed back closer Emilio Pagán prior to Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, getting back the would-be anchor of their bullpen after a roughly two month absence due to a serious hamstring injury. That good news, of course, was offset by more bad news on the injury front, as that’s just apparently […]
