Reds' Matt McLain: Dropped from starting nine Monday
McLain is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
After being dropped to the ninth spot in the batting order during Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates, McLain will be left out of the lineup entirely as the Reds open a four-game set in Chicago. McLain doesn't yet appear to be at major risk of losing hold of a regular starting role, but he's undoubtedly failed to meet expectations for the Reds and fantasy managers alike early on this season. The 26-year-old has produced a .195/.308/.293 slash line with two home runs, five steals, nine RBI and 13 runs through 34 games.

Reds' Chase Petty: Summoned ahead of Monday's start
The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Petty will be the Reds' starting pitcher for Monday's contest versus the Cubs in place of the injured Brandon Williamson (shoulder). It is likely to be just a spot start, as the Reds are expected to get Nick Lodolo (finger) back from the injured list later this week. Petty has collected a 4.38 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB over 24.2 innings with Louisville this season.

Reds' Zach Maxwell: Dispatched to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Maxwell to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Maxwell's latest stint in the majors lasted just one day, with the right-hander going unused out of the bullpen Sunday in the Reds' 1-0 loss to the Pirates. He'll give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Chase Petty, who was recalled from Louisville ahead of his start Monday against the Cubs.

Reds' Chase Burns: Fires season-high seven innings
Burns took a no-decision Sunday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on three hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out seven.
The hard-throwing right-hander turned in arguably his strongest showing of the campaign so far. Burns generated an impressive 18 whiffs and scattered three singles Sunday, spinning a season-high seven innings during his third scoreless start of the year. He'll take an outstanding 2.20 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB over 41 frames into his next start, which is slated to come against the Astros.

Reds' Nick Lodolo: Poised to come off IL on Friday
Lodolo (finger) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's home game against the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Lodolo -- who has been on the shelf all season due to a blister on his left index finger -- made the third and final start of his rehab assignment Saturday, striking out six batters and allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville. The left-hander built up to 79 pitches in the outing, so he should be ready to handle a fairly normal workload next weekend in what would be his 2026 debut for the Reds. Before the Reds lock Lodolo into their upcoming pitching schedule, he'll likely need to complete a bullpen session Monday or Tuesday without incident.

Reds' Chase Petty: On track to start Monday
The Reds plan to call up Petty from Triple-A Louisville to start Monday's game against the Cubs in Chicago, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The right-hander will fill the rotation spot vacated by Brandon Williamson (shoulder), who was placed on the injured list Thursday. Petty's stint in the big leagues could be brief, however, as Nick Lodolo (finger) is on track to be activated from the IL next weekend. Over six starts with Louisville this season, Petty has submitted a 4.38 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB over 24.2 innings.

Reds' Tyler Stephenson: On bench Sunday
Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Stephenson started the previous three games and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a run scored during that span. Jose Trevino will take over behind the plate and bat eighth for the series finale in Pittsburgh.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Taking seat Sunday
Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Hayes will hit the bench for the second time in the past four games. The 29-year-old's .119/.278/.190 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season may finally be costing him playing time, although his expected stats (including a .237 xBA and .416 xSLG) aren't as dire. Sal Stewart is getting a look at third base Sunday while Spencer Steer starts at first base.

Reds' Zach Maxwell: Quick return to majors
The Reds recalled Maxwell from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
The right-hander was optioned to Louisville after Friday's game but will quickly rejoin Cincinnati's bullpen with Pierce Johnson being placed on the bereavement list. Maxwell surrendered four earned runs over one inning during his season debut for the Reds against the Pirates on Friday.

Reds' Blake Dunn: Promoted Sunday
The Reds recalled Dunn from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
The 27-year-old will get his first look in the big leagues this season with Rece Hinds being demoted to Louisville. Dunn has a .151/.298/.256 slash line across 49 career MLB games and isn't likely to see significant playing time while up with the Reds, though he could net some starts versus left-handed pitching.

Reds' Pierce Johnson: Lands on bereavement list
The Reds placed Johnson (personal) on the bereavement list Sunday.
The 34-year-old will step away from the team for a few days for personal reasons. Johnson could rejoin the Reds toward the end of the upcoming road series versus the Cubs, which ends Thursday.

Reds' Will Benson: Fighting for playing time
Benson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 17-7 loss to the Pirates.
Benson homered for the second time in three games, but his playing time has been threatened by JJ Bleday, who was called up from the minors last week. At the time when Bleday was added to the roster, Benson had just one RBI with a .176/.333/.265 slash line over 20 games.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Sent to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Hinds to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
The 25-year-old was called up in mid-April and immediately received some chances in the outfield, but he'll return to Louisville after going 4-for-33 with 18 strikeouts in 12 big-league games. Continuing his hot start to the season at Triple-A (five homers and a 1.246 OPS in 61 plate appearances), may not be enough for Hinds to get another look in the majors, considering his career 42.0 percent strikeout rate in 131 PAs with the Reds.

Reds' JJ Bleday: Homers in loss
Bleday went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 17-7 loss to Pittsburgh.
Bleday connected for his second home run since being called up from Triple-A Louisville last week. The left-handed batter started a fourth straight game and has been included in five of six starting lineups since his arrival, all coming against right-handed starters. Bleday's presence has pushed Will Benson (.196/.315/.413) into more of a bench role.

Reds' Caleb Ferguson: Makes second rehab appearance
Ferguson (oblique) allowed one run on one hit and struck out two over one inning for Double-A Chattanooga on Friday.
Ferguson threw 16 pitches (12 strikes) as the opener in his second rehab appearance for the Lookouts. The Reds are expected to have the left-hander throw at least two more games for Triple-A Louisville before activating him from the IL, MLB.com reports.

Reds' Rhett Lowder: Sunk by Bucs
Lowder (3-2) took the loss Saturday, surrendering eight runs on five hits and four walks over just 1.1 innings in a 17-7 rout at the hands of the Pirates. He struck out one.
In the shortest outing of his brief career, Lowder threw only 25 of 52 pitches for strikes and got the hook after walking three straight batters in the second inning, only to see Connor Phillips then issue free passes to the next four Pittsburgh hitters. Lowder had lasted at least five innings in each of his first six starts this season, but the disastrous outing ballooned his ERA from 3.18 to 5.09. The 24-year-old righty will try to rebound in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road next week against the Cubs.
