Rhett Lowder leads Reds into series opener against Pirates

The nature of the current MLB playoff beast is set to play out this weekend in Cincinnati as the Reds play host to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Between the vast parity underneath the top 3 or 4 teams in the sport and Rob Manfred’s Superexpanded Megaplayoff format, the above-.500 Pirates roll into town likely buyers ahead […]

Reds activate Matt McLain, option Edwin Arroyo ahead of Pirates series

No series for the Cincinnati Reds now, or for the rest of the season, will be considered ‘vital.’ That’s what happens when you find yourself 7 games under .500 and heading towards next week’s trade deadline as a pretty clear seller. The Reds are a minimum of an 8 or 9 game win streak away […]

Reds injury update – Blake Dunn done for season, Nick Lodolo nearing return

The Cincinnati Reds have a handful of significant pieces who have been out injured in various forms and fashions, and on Thursday afternoon manager Terry Francona gave updates on a trio of players who’ve featured so far in 2026. Some of the news was rather good. Nick Lodolo, who’s been plagued by blisters on his […]

The Hunter Greene trade rumors just won’t stop

Cincinnati Reds righty Hunter Greene put up a 6.0 bWAR season in 2024 and made the All Star team that year. Only making 26 starts that season limited him to only an 8th place finish in the National League Cy Young Award voting, and he backed that up by pitching to a 2.76 ERA and […]

Offense, defense fail Reds in 6-1 loss to Cleveland Guardians

A thorough and hearty hat-tip is due to Brady Singer, who did not allow a single earned run in his start for the Cincinnati Reds against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night in Great American Ball Park. A noted trade candidate with the deadline around the corner, Singer pitched pretty damn effectively, keeping Cleveland off […]

Reds promote 2025 1st round pick Steele Hall to Class-A Daytona Tortugas

The Cincinnati Reds used the 9th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft on shortstop Steele Hall, then just 17 years of age, out of Hewitt-Trussville High School in Alabama. Hall had just recently reclassified to be a high school senior and therefore draft eligible, but the Reds had been scouting him as a potential […]

Chase Burns leads Reds into doubleheader vs. Guardians

Let’s try this again, shall we? Monday’s scheduled series opener in Great American Ball Park between the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians was eventually banged due to bad weather after an initial delay, setting the stage for a Tuesday chock full of baseball in the form of a day/night doubleheader. The first game – set […]

Reds vs. Guardians game postponed due to rain; doubleheader on Tuesday

Weather has inserted itself into the Cincinnati Reds schedule, and for those interested in watching some Ohio Cup baseball on Monday I have some bad news. With storms delaying the start and more in the forecast, Monday’s series opener between the Reds and Cleveland Guardians has officially been postponed. MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon relayed the news […]

Trade deadline plans in flux as Reds place Spencer Steer on injured list

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer has seen his name fly all over trade rumor boards so far this July, and for good reason. He’s incredibly versatile defensively, he’s hit over 20 homers for three straight seasons, he once swiped 25 bags in a year, and he’s mashing left-handed pitching to the tune of a 1.062 […]

Reds race past Cardinals in extra innings to claim series victory

The Cincinnati Reds entered the All Star break completely on the skids, out of luck, out of effort, and mired in the depths of last place in the National League Central division. Staring them square in the face was the inevitability of a sell-off at the upcoming trade deadline, especially with a daunting three-city, nine-game […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Andrew Abbott vs. Kyle Leahy

Hunter Greene couldn’t keep the St. Louis Cardinals offense in check on Saturday and the Cincinnati Reds offense was completely befuddled by righty Andre Pallante in the Reds 7-0 loss. That means the Sunday rubber match will determine who gets to claim victory in this particular NL Central series. The Reds have won each of […]

The Spencer Steer trade dilemma for the Cincinnati Reds

There simply are not a lot of MLB players who do what Spencer Steer does for the Cincinnati Reds. A Gold Glove Award finalist at 1B last year, Steer has spent time at 1B, 2B, 3B, and all three of the outfield spots so far during the 2026 season, all while on pace to top […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Rhett Lowder vs. Dustin May

Rhett Lowder gets the ball for the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night in St. Louis as the good guys open a road series against the Cardinals in Busch Stadium. Dustin May will start for the Redbirds, with first pitch slated to fly at precisely 8:15 PM ET. The Reds have opened the season’s second half […]

Rhett Lowder gets his moment to shine for the Reds

All signs do not point to the Cincinnati Reds being huge sellers at the trade deadline in the next week and a half. Nick Krall confirmed as much to The Enquirer’s Gordon Wittenmyer this week, suggesting that in lieu of rebuilding they are going to ‘retool’ with an eye on still being competitive (for them) […]

The Cincinnati Reds reboot has become a ‘retool’

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I once covered a badly disfunctional Cincinnati Reds baseball team. I can’t call them bad, somehow, despite them barreling into the trade deadline that year with a dismal 46-55 record, and a quick refresh will remind you why. That club had Joey Votto and Jay […]

The only thing standing between the Reds and a miracle is money

Some team will give the Cincinnati Reds something semi-tangible for the services of Brady Singer. The veteran righty eschewed a miserable start to the season and has turned things completely around, pitching to a 2.92 ERA and 3.56 FIP across 52.1 IP during his last 9 starts. That includes his typical durability as well as […]

Is now the time for the Cincinnati Reds to trade Spencer Steer?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Reds fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. With 16 homers to his credit through just 95 games played this season, Spencer Steer is […]

Reds turn again to Brady Singer with series vs. Mariners on the line

Brady Singer has operated almost inverse of the Cincinnati Reds so far in this 2026 season. As the club jumped out to a ridiculously lucky 20-11 start to campaign, it was Singer who was struggling – he picked up a blister problem late in spring camp and it seemed to impact both his pitch mix […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Seattle Mariners – Chase Burns vs. Luis Castillo

I am not sure if the Baseball Gods put their heads together and orchestrated tonight’s matchup and lineups between the Cincinnati Reds and Seattle Mariners, but there sure seem to be some stars aligning in making it happen. Luis Castillo, former ace and All Star for the Reds, will start against the club that traded […]

Cal Raleigh’s grand slam one final blow for Cincinnati Reds season

There’s an insanely short list of players who have hit 60 or more home runs in a single Major League Baseball season. You may have heard of some of them – Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Roger Maris, Aaron Judge. You may have also noticed that catcher – catcher! – Cal Raleigh […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Seattle Mariners- Andrew Abbott vs. George Kirby

Here we go! The Cincinnati Reds are fresh off taking two of three on the road in Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, a feat that (at this stage of the season) still somehow feels like merely treading water. With just two weeks to go before the trade deadline, the Reds are in floor it […]
