Reds' Carson Spiers: Works out of bullpen again
Carson Spiers tossed two innings of relief and gave up three earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out three Friday in the Cincinnati Reds' 14-0 loss to the Brewers in the second game of a doubleheader.Even though injuries have tested the Reds' starting depth of late, manager David Bell has seemingly pulled the plug on Spiers as a member of the rotation. Spiers has made three of his last four appearances out of the bullpen, and his outing came behind a traditional starter (Rhett Lowder) rather than an opener. The right-hander looks poised to operate as a multi-inning reliever moving forward, with most of his usage likely to come in lower-leverage spots.

Reds' Carson Spiers: Four scoreless innings Sunday
Carson Spiers threw four scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates, allowing three hits without a walk. He struck out one batter.Nick Martinez started the game but only went three innings before handing the ball off to Spiers, who bounced back with a scoreless outing after a brutal stretch in which he gave up 19 earned runs in 12 innings. The Martinez-Spiers tandem was effective, but both pitchers may be needed for starts this week with the Cincinnati Reds playing seven games in six days, including a doubleheader Friday against the Brewers. Cincinnati will have to make do with a patchwork rotation with Andrew Abbott (shoulder) now on the injured list alongside Hunter Greene (elbow) and others.

Reds' Carson Spiers: To be leaned on Tuesday
Carson Spiers is expected to either start or work as the bulk reliever Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.The Cincinnati Reds have yet to name Spiers the starter, as Goldsmith notes there's a possibility the club uses an opener for the first inning or two before turning to the 26-year-old right-hander. Spiers worked in a bulk reliever role during his last appearance Wednesday against the Cardinals, surrendering two runs on six hits while fanning four over 2.2 frames.

Reds' Carson Spiers: Works 2.2 frames in bulk relief
Carson Spiers pitched 2.2 innings in bulk relief Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four batters.Spiers didn't actually enter the contest until the fourth inning, as Emilio Pagan was able to cover two scoreless frames as the opener and Sam Moll followed with a perfect inning. When Spiers came into the game, the Cincinnati Reds had already built a 4-0 lead, and they extended that to 7-0 through five frames. That may have given Spiers a bit too much comfort, as he allowed four straight hits resulting in a pair of runs to begin the sixth. The right-hander was at least able to bounce back by striking out the final two batters he faced before exiting the contest having thrown 60 total pitches. Spiers had worked as a traditional starter in his eight previous appearances prior to Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll move back to that role his next time out or again work behind an opener.
