Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Reds' 8-3 loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

Lowe put the Reds on the board in the second inning with a solo long shot of Keider Montero. Lowe is up to four home runs on the season, all of which have come over his last three outings. He is slashing .256/.333/.605 with 10 RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances this season.

Watts-Brown (shoulder) is set to be activated from the 7-day injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Watts-Brown will return to action after dealing with a shoulder injury for the last couple weeks. The right-handed pitcher will join Double-A Chesapeake ahead of the team's series against Erie beginning Tuesday.

Mlodzinski (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Following a pair of scoreless outings in his April 10 and April 15 appearances, Mlodzinski has faltered in each of his past two starts. The right-hander has now coughed up at least four runs in back-to-back outings, failing to work at least five frames in both. While Mlodzinski sports a strong 30:11 K:BB through 28.1 frames so far, his 4.13 ERA and 1.45 WHIP make him tough to trust in his next scheduled start versus the division-rival Reds.

Harrison (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out 12.

The left-hander was magnificent Sunday, recording an astounding 23 whiffs en route to fanning a career-high 12. After he didn't reach the 80-pitch marker in either of his prior two starts, it was also encouraging to see Harrison throw a season-high 101 pitches in his first scoreless outing of the year. Harrison is next set to take a stellar 2.28 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 23.2 innings into a favorable matchup against Washington.

Prielipp is slated to start Monday's game against the Mariners at Target Field.

The Twins have elected to keep the 25-year-old lefty around for another turn through the rotation after a serviceable showing in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he struck out six and allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mets. Since Mick Abel (elbow) is set to remain on the injured list through at least the upcoming week, Prielipp will tentatively line up for a two starts, with his second turn expected to come over the weekend at home versus the Blue Jays.

Tolle is slated to make his next start Tuesday against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Tolle's inclusion in the rotation for at least one more turn was a foregone conclusion after the 23-year-old lefty dazzled in his 2026 MLB debut this past Thursday. While making a start in place of the injured Sonny Gray (hamstring), Tolle racked up 11 punchouts and allowed just one earned run on three hits and one walk over six innings in a no-decision against the Yankees. Gray could be ready to return from the IL when first eligible May 6 or soon thereafter, but the Red Sox may still be willing to keep Tolle around in the rotation if he continues to pitch well and/or if Brayan Bello (9.00 ERA, 2.27 WHIP in 22 innings this season) continues to languish.

Ritchie will make his next start Wednesday against the Tigers in Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Ritchie was exceptional in his major-league debut Thursday against the Nationals, earning a win while tossing seven innings of two-run ball and striking out seven batters. He'll now stick around with the major-league rotation for the time being, with Atlanta deciding to shift Reynaldo Lopez to bullpen in order to allow him to fix some mechanical issues. With Spencer Strider (oblique) on the cusp a return from the 15-day injured list, Atlanta will likely have just one spot in the rotation available for either Ritchie or Martin Perez once Strider is back in the fold.

Bledlay went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run during the Reds' 8-3 loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

Bledlay was called up by the Reds from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday and made his first major-league start of the season Sunday in left field. He tied things up at 2-2 with a solo homer off Keider Montero in the fourth inning before being replaced by Dane Myers in the sixth against a left-handed reliever. Bleday should remain in the majors for as long as Eugenio Suarez (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.

Del Castillo suffered a left ring finger dislocation and exited Sunday's contest against the Padres in the top of the third inning.

Del Castillo sustained the injury while behind the plate, and he was replaced by James McCann in the contest. Del Castillo finished his day having gone 0-for-1 at the plate with a strikeout, and more information on his status moving forward will likely be provided in the near future.

Hurter (3-0) tossed a scoreless inning of relief and earned the win in Sunday's 8-3 victory over the Reds.

Hurter came on in the sixth inning with the Reds up 3-2, then picked up another win out of the bullpen when the Tigers scored four times in the seventh and twice more in the eighth. The lefty's three wins are already one behind his total from the 2025 regular season and half as many as he had during his encouraging 2024 rookie campaign. Hurter has been solid overall this year with a 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 11 innings so far.
