Top Reds News

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Makes big impact in win

    De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a walk, three doubles, two steals, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    De La Cruz, who scored the game-winning run on a walk-off fielder's choice, filled the box score like he's done many times before. The multi-hit effort was his third in the last five games, and the two steals upped his total to 20, the fourth consecutive season with at least 20 thefts. Since the All-Star break, De La Cruz has posted a slash line of .308/.400/.577 with with eight walks, three doubles, one triple, three home runs, four RBI and six steals over 13 games.

  • Reds' Matt McLain: Logs hit, run in return

    McLain started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

    McLain, who was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier in the day, singled in his first at-bat and scored on an Elly De La Cruz double. The Reds cleared a roster spot for McLain's return by optioning Edwin Arroyo. That, coupled with Spencer Steer's wrist injury, should create a path to regular plate appearances for McLain as the team's primary second baseman.

  • Reds' Rhett Lowder: Six strong innings in no-decision

    Lowder took a no-decision Thursday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out five.

    Lowder cruised through four shutout innings to begin the evening in what was ultimately one of his better showings of the campaign. The right-hander logged a quality start, just his fourth of the year and first since way back during his April 20 outing in Tampa Bay, while the five punchouts were his most in his past six appearances. Lowder should get at least more turn through the rotation next week against the Athletics due to Nick Lodolo's (finger) absence, holding a 5.42 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB over 83 innings.

  • Reds' Blake Dunn: Slated for surgery

    Dunn will undergo surgery on his right elbow Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Dunn has been on the shelf since late June due to a right elbow sprain, and he suffered a setback last week shortly before he was scheduled to begin a rehab assignment. The Reds haven't given an updated timeline for the 27-year-old's return, though his procedure will almost certainly rule him out for the remainder of the season. Dane Myers figures to continue working as Cincinnati's primary center fielder while ceding an occasional start to TJ Friedl.

  • Reds' Nick Lodolo: Facing hitters Friday

    Lodolo (finger) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Lodolo is expected to throw roughly two or three innings during Friday's session, marking his first time facing live hitters since landing on the injured list July 12 with a finger blister. Lodolo has been experimenting with a new grip for his breaking ball in an effort to minimize the risk of future blister problems, and he hasn't had any issues to this point with the new grip. He could require a rehab start in the minors before rejoining Cincinnati's rotation, though the Reds haven't confirmed any plans beyond Friday just yet.

  • Reds' Chase Petty: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Reds optioned Petty to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

    Petty pitched each of the last two days and threw 32 pitches over 1.1 innings in an appearance Wednesday, so he's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm. The righty has collected a 4.50 ERA and 14:8 K:BB over 30 frames for Cincinnati this season.

  • Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Dispatched to minors

    The Reds optioned Arroyo to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

    Arroyo has served as the Reds' primary second baseman since early June but has produced just a .244/.286/.282 batting line with zero home runs and a 5:31 BB:K across 142 plate appearances. If he can get back on track at Louisville, Arroyo could receive another opportunity later this season. For now, though, the Reds appear poised to hand their second-base job back to Matt McLain, who returned from the injured list Thursday.

  • Reds' Zach McCambley: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Reds recalled McCambley from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

    McCambley will give the Reds a fresh bullpen arm after they played a doubleheader Wednesday. The righty permitted three runs with a 4:5 K:BB over 4.1 innings in a previous stint with Cincinnati.

  • Reds' Matt McLain: Activated from 10-day IL

    The Reds activated McLain (calf) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    McLain has been sidelined since early July with a left calf strain, but he's been cleared to return to action after going 5-for-17 with a 2:5 BB:K in five rehab games with Triple-A Louisville. The Reds also optioned Edwin Arroyo on Thursday, which could allow McLain to become the club's regular option at second base again. McLain has slashed just .190/.293/.328 with eight homers and 11 stolen bases this season.

  • Reds' Jose Franco: Shut down from throwing

    Franco (forearm) has been shut down from throwing for a minimum of two weeks, MLB.com reports.

    Franco was called up to the roster for Tuesday's doubleheader and pitched 3.2 innings before departing with discomfort in his right forearm. The report indicates the source of the problem is a flexor mass strain, and not his elbow as originally reported.

  • Reds' Tony Santillan: Will undergo more imaging

    Santillan (oblique) will undergo additional imaging Friday, MLB.com reports.

    The purpose of the imaging is to determine how Santillan is healing, and the Reds hope to speed up his rehab based on the results of testing. He's been throwing off flat ground at 40 percent intensity.

  • Reds' Brandon Williamson: Beginning rehab assignment Saturday

    Williamson (shoulder/finger) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday at Double-A Chattanooga, MLB.com reports.

    Williamson landed on the injured list in April due to a shoulder issue before suffering a finger injury late in June. The left-hander has been facing hitters and is ready for live games. He's expected to throw two innings and 45 pitches.

  • Reds' Brady Singer: Struggles with control in loss

    Singer (5-10) took the loss against Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing four runs (all unearned) on six hits and four walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

    After a nice streak of three starts of more than six innings, Singer stumbled in the 6-1 loss to the Guardians, throwing only 58 of his 100 pitches for strikes and walking in two runs. It ends a run of four straight starts of at least five innings for the righty. Singer is now tied for the MLB lead with 10 losses on the year, though his 4.35 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 107.2 innings likely aren't deserving of that loss total.

  • Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Sitting against left-hander

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    After going 5-for-12 with a double, two RBI and a run scored while starting in the Reds' last three games, the left-handed-hitting Lowe will head to the bench while the Guardians send southpaw Joey Cantillo to the bump. Sal Stewart will move across the diamond to replace Lowe at first base while Ke'Bryan Hayes picks up a start at third base.

  • Reds' Jose Franco: Heading back to Triple-A

    The Reds optioned Franco (elbow) to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

    Franco will report back to Triple-A after he served as the Reds' 27th man for Wednesady's doubleheader with the Guardians. He was active for Game 2 of the twin bill and worked in bulk relief in the Reds' 2-0 victory, earning his first big-league win while striking out two and allowing one hit and two walks over 3.2 scoreless frames before exiting in the seventh inning due to right elbow discomfort. He'll likely undergo further testing before the Reds have a better idea regarding the extent of his injury, but Franco could be at risk of landing on the injured list if he isn't ready to go for his next turn through the rotation.

  • Reds' JJ Bleday: Sitting versus southpaw

    Bleday is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Guardians.

    The left-handed-hitting Bleday plays against most southpaws, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench as the Guardians send lefty Joey Cantillo to the hill. Ivan Johnson will cover left field for the Reds.
