Singer allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings in Sunday's spring start against the Mariners.
Singer did not allow a run over the first four innings before being nicked for a home run to lead off the fifth frame. A couple more batters reached base following the homer, and the right-hander was pulled after working his pitch count to 78 in his fourth spring outing. Singer's had a strong Cactus League, recording a 2.25 ERA with 18 strikeouts over 12 innings.
Singer allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings in Saturday's spring start against the Padres.
Singer had a largely uneventful first inning, working around a one-out double, but faced adversity during his second frame. The right-hander left some balls up in the zone early and eventually began falling behind and walking batters before being removed with his pitch count at 42 (26 strikes). Despite the rough outing, Singer is on schedule and is expected to shoot for three innings/60 pitches his next time out.
Singer allowed two hits and a walk while striking out four over two scoreless innings in Monday's spring game against the Dodgers.
Singer, who was acquired during the offseason in the trade that sent Jonathan India to the Royals, made his debut for the Reds. The right-hander threw 33 pitches (23 strikes) and worked out of a second-inning jam, inducing a double play with one out and two on.
Singer and the Reds avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $8.75 million contract, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Singer will get a $3.9 million raise in 2025 after he submitted a 3.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 170:54 K:BB across 179.2 regular-season innings with the Royals last season before being dealt to the Reds in November. The right-hander made up for a so-so 22.3 percent strikeout rate by generating ground balls at a steady clip (47.1 percent), and his ability to mitigate damage on flyballs may help him stave off a dramatic increase in his ERA as he moves to a more hitter-friendly environment in Great American Ball Park in 2025.
The Royals traded Singer to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Jonathan India (ankle) and Joey Wiemer.
After posting a 5.52 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 2023, Singer bounced back nicely with a 3.71 ERA and 1.27 WHIP to go along with a 170:54 K:BB in 2024. Now in Cincinnati, the 28-year-old shouldn't have much trouble securing a spot in the Reds' starting rotation, which is currently headlined by Hunter Greene.

The Kansas City righty received no support from his offense, but he turned in his 13th quality start of the season with this 98-pitch outing. Singer generated a solid 14 whiffs en route to his five punchouts, with the only blemish on his evening being a two-run Sean Murphy homer in the fourth inning.
