Farmer picked up the save Sunday against the Cubs, walking one batter with no strikeouts across a scoreless 10th inning. Farmer logged his first save of 2024, taking the mound in the 10th inning to close out the Reds' regular-season finale. He'll finish the campaign with a 3.04 ERA and a 70:29 K:BB across 71 innings.

Farmer did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates, striking out two over two perfect innings. Farmer was tasked with opening a bullpen game for the Reds after Andrew Abbott (shoulder) was placed on the injured list, and he retired all six batters he faced on 27 pitches. While the 33-year-old has not exceeded two innings in any outing this season, he owns an impressive 2.58 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

Farmer will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Farmer is tabbed as the Reds' official starter, but he has completed no more than two innings in any appearance this season. That said, he'll almost certainly be in store for a brief outing, with lefty Andrew Abbott being the leading candidate to work in bulk relief behind him.

Farmer allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies. Farmer entered in the middle of the seventh inning after Brent Suter gave up a grand slam to Bryce Harper. Farmer was touched for a home run, too, a solo shot by Brandon Marsh. This was the reliever's second appearance, and he's allowed home runs in each.

Farmer allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over one inning in Thursday's spring game against Texas. Farmer cruised through his first five Cactus League outings -- no runs or walks allowed and five strikeouts over five innings -- before the Rangers hung a four-spot on him in the fourth inning, courtesy of a Wyatt Langford grand slam. Farmer is expected to return as an important piece of the bullpen for Cincinnati, working as a bridge to closer Alexis Diaz.
