Reds' Jakob Junis: Strong start wasted Saturday
Jake Junis came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Mets, allowing one hit and one walk over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.The veteran right-hander was locked in a pitchers' duel with Jose Quintana, but the Cincinnati Reds bullpen fell apart as soon as Junis exited the game. His 73 pitches and five innings both represented high marks this season, and Junis has been exceptional in his swingman role lately, posting a 1.23 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB in 22 innings over his last nine appearances (two starts) since Aug. 7.

Reds' Jakob Junis: Drawing start Saturday
Jake Junis will start Saturday's game against the Mets, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Junis was expected to serve as the bulk reliever behind Fernando Cruz on Friday, but the Cincinnati Reds instead had Brandon Williamson fill that role. Junis is now set up for a start Saturday, after he had previously piggybacked Williamson in the latter's 2024 Reds debut this past Sunday versus the Brewers. The right-hander has worked four and 3.2 innings in his last two outings, so he has an outside chance at working deep enough into Saturday's start to qualify for a win.

Reds' Jakob Junis: Piggybacks Williamson on Sunday
Jake Junis covered 3.2 innings in relief in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers in 11 innings, giving up one earned run on two hits and no walks. He struck out one batter.Junis tossed four scoreless innings in his first start as a member of the Cincinnati Reds his last time out Tuesday against the Athletics, but he shifted back to the bullpen Sunday while the Reds added Brandon Williamson (shoulder) to the rotation. Since Williamson (66 pitches, 3.1 innings) wasn't fully stretched out in his return from the 60-day injured list, Junis (62) ended up taking on a similar workload while piggybacking him. Even with Williamson's return, the Reds still have only four healthy starters at the moment, so Junis could be needed for a spot start or bulk-relief appearance during next weekend's series with the Mets.

Reds' Jakob Junis: Making start Tuesday
Jake Junis will start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.Junis' first appearance of the season with the Brewers back on April 2 was a start, but all 17 of his outings since then have come in relief. He has often gone multiple innings in those appearances, so while he won't be used as a one- or two-inning opener, Junis also isn't stretched out for a normal start. With Nick Lodolo (finger) joining Hunter Greene (elbow) and Andrew Abbott (shoulder) on the injured list, Junis could be needed for more starts beyond Tuesday.
