Extra-innings homer from Sal Stewart gives Reds 5-3 win over Padres

Into the wee hours of the morning went the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres after their 9:40 PM ET start time on Tuesday evening in southern California, the second game of their three-game series heading to extras after neither team could quite figure out Chase Burns or Lucas Giolito, respectively. Tied at 2-2, the […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres – Chase Burns vs. Lucas Giolito

Here are the Cincinnati Reds, in desperate need for their resident ace to give them a shot at turning around their season amid a dismal spate of terrible baseball. Here are the Cincinnati Reds, forced to call a 23 year old with just 20 career starts at the big league level to be their resident […]

Former Red Joel Kuhnel is the Brewers latest pitching machine

You may recall Joel Kuhnel from his days with the Cincinnati Reds. Big guy, he is – listed at 6’5” and 290 lbs. He was an 11th round pick out of the University of Texas-Arlington, threw a heavy heater, and made it into 14 games with the Reds in 2019-2020 before injuries shut him down […]

Padres reach on three straight bunts in humiliating defeat of Reds

If you managed to stay up late enough on Monday to watch the Cincinnati Reds lose to the San Diego Padres, I applaud you. I apologize to you for your pain and suffering, but I applaud you for your diligence. The Reds are an absolute mess right now. Depending on the depth of your parameters, […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres – Andrew Abbott vs. Walker Buehler

On the one hand, it’s a bit hyperbolic to declare that a 31-33 team playing a road series in San Diego is playing for their season. There are, after all, almost 100 games left in the 2026 regular season. For the Cincinnati Reds, though, it’s been five-plus weeks of absolute crud on the baseball field, […]

The Cincinnati Reds and a dreaded West Coast Trip

Many a Cincinnati Reds season has seen the club hold its own, keep its head above water, and even position itself to be one of the premier clubs in the National League Central…only for the team to head west to face their old National League West rivals and see their season implode in short order. […]

The Cincinnati Reds are broken with no quick fix

The Cincinnati Reds lost to the St. Louis Cardinals again on Sunday. Much like Saturday’s loss, the team scraped and clawed their way to the game still being tight late, only for the bullpen to fork over the game in the 8th inning. The bullpen is a problem, yes. There are simply too few arms […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Rhett Lowder vs. Michael McGreevy

It would be pretty damn McGroovy if the Cincinnati Reds could find a way to pick themselves up off the mat and fight their way back into the 2026 season. Because lately, they’ve looked like a floundering club that’s taken too many blows to make that possible. Yeah, they’re without Elly De La Cruz and […]

Reds activate Rhett Lowder ahead of Sunday start vs. Cardinals

The Cincinnati Reds have finally brought up a reinforcement on good terms, rather than out of necessity. The last place club has seen their pitching ranks decimated by injuries, and the churn they’ve been going through in that time has seen arms brought up for stints and designated for assignment just to free up roster […]

Cincinnati Reds fall under .500 after another bullpen implosion against St. Louis

Sam Moll hasn’t really been a problem for the 2026 version of the Cincinnati Reds. He certainly hasn’t been the problem, that’s for damn sure. On Saturday afternoon in Busch Stadium, though, it was the big hit coming off a Moll pitch that flipped the scoreboard in the Bottom of the 8th inning and, ultimately, […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Brady Singer vs. Kyle Leahy

The Cincinnati Reds should be fresh following their off-day on Thursday, but they’re also ‘fresh’ off losing 4 of 6 at home during their most recent homestand against the Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, respectively. Now, the Reds are in St. Louis and ready to face a Cardinals club that they saw briefly two […]

Tony Santillan implodes again in 5-2 Reds loss to Royals

I feel for Tony Santillan at the moment. He’s been such a vital part of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen, when healthy, for several years now, but it’s undeniable that he’s been struggling for weeks now to no avail. Problem is, the more he struggles, the more that’s still being asked of him. Simultaneous with his […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Kansas City Royals – Chase Burns vs. Stephen Kolek

Yesterday’s come from behind victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Kansas City Royals did a little bit to assuage the mental damage done by losing Elly De La Cruz to a hamstring injury and IL stint earlier in the week. The Reds have managed to keep their heads above the .500 mark for another […]

Rhett Lowder to start for Reds on Sunday in St. Louis

Rhett Lowder took the mound in a professional baseball game on Tuesday night for the first time in nearly a month. What he produced didn’t matter nearly as much as how he felt after getting in the work with AAA Louisville, and apparently he’s feeling just fine. According to MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon, Lowder came out […]

Reds recall Noelvi Marte, option TJ Friedl to AAA Louisville

The seemingly neverending shuffle of the Cincinnati Reds outfield got another significant round on Wednesday afternoon. This time, it featured the demotion of a player nobody, if polled in the offseason, would have expected would be off the active roster just 60 games into the 2026 season. The Reds made a straight swap, optioning former […]

Blake Dunn walks it off for Reds in comeback win over Royals

It’s difficult to truly justify a game as a ‘must-win’ just 60 games into a 162 game MLB season, but Tuesday evening in Great American Ball Park began to feel like one shortly after its start. The Cincinnati Reds, losers of 4 of their last 5 games, were sitting perilously close to being just .500 […]

Game 60: Reds vs. Royals (7:10 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Cameron

We’re doing our best to block out a lot of what’s been going on with the Cincinnati Reds of late. The rotation is in tatters. The bullpen is in even worse condition. They’re now missing Elly De La Cruz from the lineup, and they’re at risk of dipping all the way back to the .500 […]

Reds promote pitcher Zach McCambley, send Rhett Lowder out on rehab assignment

The writing was on the wall for the Cincinnati Reds yesterday when star pitcher Chase Burns was scratched late from his scheduled start against the Kansas City Royals due to illness. When the once-dependable portion of the team’s tattered rotation was turned into a spot bullpen start, it was a clear indication that some more […]

The last place Cincinnati Reds can’t even be sellers this year

There are five teams that play baseball in the National League Central division, and the Cincinnati Reds are in fifth place among them. They own a -39 run differential so far through 59 games, a mark that’s the third worst in the entire NL. Their best position player, Elly De La Cruz, is on the […]

MLB

Game 59: Reds vs. Royals (7:10 PM ET) – Richardson vs. Avila

The Cincinnati Reds will begin their sans-Elly era on Monday night in Great American Ball Park with the Kansas City Royals in town. They’ll also do so without Chase Burns, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to him battling an illness at the moment. As a result, the patchwork infield will back Lyon […]

Chase Burns scratched with illness; Edwin Arroyo to debut vs. Royals

It has been quite the administrative few days for the Cincinnati Reds. Fresh off a weekend that saw them need to place both Graham Ashcraft and Pierce Johnson on the injured list, the Reds were forced to place star Elly De La Cruz on there due to hamstring issues earlier on Monday. Kyle Nicolas was […]

Cincinnati Reds minor leaguers who crushed the month of May

The month of May is in the rearview mirror, and a handful of select Cincinnati Reds farmhands are going to look back on it fondly for quite some time. Here are four minor leaguers who absolutely smashed the ball during the most recent month: Carlos Jorge, OF (AA Chattanooga Lookouts) We’ve seen decent power from […]

Reds place Elly De La Cruz on IL, call up Edwin Arroyo

Sunday afternoon in Great American Ball Park brought out the full range of emotions for the Cincinnati Reds. They picked up a win to stave off a would-be sweep by the Atlanta Braves, but watched as superstar Elly De La Cruz pulled up lame rounding 1B on a ball he hit to the wall in […]
