Reds' Carson Spiers: Needs Tommy John surgery
Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said Saturday that Carson Spiers will require season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Spiers had been in the midst of a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville while working his way back from a shoulder impingement, but he was pulled off the assignment about a week ago after experiencing soreness in his right biceps. He underwent a couple of MRIs since then, and a second opinion confirmed that Tommy John surgery was necessary. No date has been set for Spiers' procedure, but the surgery will be performed by renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister. In addition to missing the remainder of the season, Spiers will be at risk of missing the entire 2026 campaign as well.

It's unclear how much more time Spiers will need to miss as a result.

Reds' Carson Spiers: Goes 3.2 scoreless in rehab start
Carson Spiers (shoulder) struck out five and gave up one hit and four walks over 3.2 scoreless innings in his rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.Though Spiers kept Columbus off the board during his start, he spotted just 39 of his 72 pitches for strikes in the outing, which was the third of his rehab assignment. On the shelf since April 20 due to a right shoulder impingement, Spiers appears to be close to fully stretched out at this point, but the Cincinnati Reds don't seem to have an opening for him in the big-league rotation. Spiers could be activated from the 60-day injured list coming out of the All-Star break to serve as a long-relief option for the big club, or the Reds could option him to Triple-A if they want to keep him in a starting role.

Reds' Carson Spiers: Rehab moving to Triple-A
Carson Spiers (shoulder) is expected to have his rehab assignment shifted from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.Spiers made his lone appearance in the ACL on Wednesday, allowing two hits while striking out four and hitting a batter over 2.1 scoreless innings. He threw 49 pitches in that outing and will look to build on that workload Tuesday, when he's expected to piggyback fellow rehabbing right-hander Hunter Greene (groin). Spiers look on track to rejoin the Cincinnati Reds after the All-Star break and will likely fill a multi-inning role out of the bullpen after he started in two of his three appearances for Cincinnati before landing on the shelf April 20 due to a right shoulder impingement.
