Cincinnati Reds sign veteran infielder Orlando Arcia to minor league deal

Big league rosters have officially expanded now that we’ve reached the month of August. The Cincinnati Reds responded in kind by promoting both Brandon Williamson and Juan Brito earlier on Tuesday, the latter providing depth across the infield as the Reds face something of a short-term crisis there. Ke’Bryan Hayes resides on the 10-day IL […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres – Nick Lodolo vs. Randy Vasquez

The Cincinnati Reds are absolutely not going to non-tender Nick Lodolo at season’s end. They just aren’t. However, they are beginning to face a reality that consists of their former stud lefty being a guy who’s allowed 14 ER in 16.1 IP since returning from a recurring blister issue that caused him to dump perhaps […]

Reds activate LHP Brandon Williamson, recall infielder Juan Brito as rosters expand

Welcome to the month of September! Major League Baseball allows active roster limits to expand from 26 to 28 when the calendar flips to September, and today the Cincinnati Reds responded accordingly. With the ability to now carry 14 pitchers and 14 position players, the Reds opted to make official the return of lefty Brandon […]

Reds set to limit innings on Chase Burns as Brandon Williamson returns

The Cincinnati Reds will welcome back lefty Brandon Williamson to their starting rotation beginning on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. The 28 year old – who missed all of the 2025 season following Tommy John surgery that he needed late in 2024 – has been sidelined since an April 29th start against the Colorado […]

How the former 1st round draft picks of the Reds have looked in 2026

Today, more than ever, is the perfect time to detail just how important it is for all 30 MLB clubs – even the big spenders – to nail their early picks each summer in the MLB Draft. Just last night, the Cincinnati Reds took to the national stage in Wrigley Field under the lights of […]

Reds blast four homers in 7-5 win over Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball

Yes, Pete Crow-Armstrong blasted another pair of homers on Sunday night just 24 hours after he hit a trio of bombs off Cincinnati Reds pitching during Saturday’s 17-5 embarrassment by the Chicago Cubs. Yes, the Chicago Cubs jumped out to an immediate lead in the process, as PCA’s first blast of the night came in […]

Reds/Cubs Sunday Night Baseball game to begin in rain delay

The Cincinnati Reds are set to wrap their weekend series in Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night. They’re even going to have Joey Votto in the building as an on-field analyst seeing as the game is being carried nationally on both NBC and Peacock as the featured Sunday Night Baseball game of […]

Chase Burns leads Reds vs. Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball

We know what Chase Burns has done for the Cincinnati Reds so far in 2026. He owns a stellar 14-3 record on the season, and even though pitcher win/loss is a mostly meaningless stat, it’s telling given just how bad the Reds have been more often than not this season. He has pitched to a […]

Sal Stewart launches his 30th homer of the 2026 season

The Cincinnati Reds played baseball against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon up in Wrigley Field. We won’t get into the nitty gritty of what kind of score ended up on the scoreboard – that’s the kind of thing that teams who are in playoff chases get to care about. Over here at Red Reporter, […]

Hector Rodriguez back at leadoff as Reds look to take series from Cubs

The Cincinnati Reds smashed and bashed their way past the Chicago Cubs during Friday’s series opener in Wrigley, taking home an impressive 10-8 victory that may or may not have included them nearly giving the game away late. Tyler Stephenson smashed a huge 3-run homer. Sal Stewart, Jose Trevino, and even TJ Friedl homered, too, […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs – Rhett Lowder vs. David Peterson

The Cincinnati Reds renew their longstanding NL Central rivalry with the Chicago Cubs today, and the two will tussle three times over the weekend on the north side in Wrigley Field. Rhett Lowder and David Peterson do the starting for their respective clubs in Friday’s series opener, a matinee start scheduled for 2:20 PM ET. […]

The Reds still have a Ke’Bryan Hayes mess on their hands

If you hold your nose and squint, you’ll find that Cincinnati Reds 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes has actually turned things around – a bit. Though he owns just a .463 OPS for the entirety of the 2026 season, that’s ticked up to a .588 OPS since the start of the month of August. Over his most […]

Eugenio Suárez in Reds lineup for series opener in Wrigley against Cubs

It’s been quite the week for Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez. For one, he actually served as ‘Cincinnati Reds slugger’ by socking a vital grand slam during the team’s epic comeback victory over the San Francisco Giants, a title he’s not truly been able to live up to during his disappointing 2026 campaign. Then, he […]

TJ Friedl, Eugenio Suárez clear waivers and stay with Cincinnati Reds

The deadline for MLB players to be playoff-eligible with an organization comes at 11:59 PM ET on August 31st, so it’s unsurprising to hear that at least two prominent players landed on outright waivers off the Cincinnati Reds roster this week. Those two – outfielder TJ Friedl and 3B Eugenio Suárez – both fit the […]

Reds roar back for 10-9 win over Giants with 7-run 9th inning

The moribund Cincinnati Reds looked just that for most of their three-game series by the San Francisco Bay. They entered play on Wednesday afternoon having scored just a lone run through the first two games of the series, that coming late on Tuesday in the form of a solo Sal Stewart homer. Not even moving […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants – Nick Lodolo vs. Logan Webb

Terry Francona opted to shuffle his lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the San Francisco Giants, and the Cincinnati Reds will have a new leadoff hitter in rookie Hector Rodriguez. Each of Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart have been pushed down the batting order, for whatever reason, because apparently that’s going to jump […]

Will the Cincinnati Reds really stick with Ke’Bryan Hayes for 2027?

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. The Cincinnati Reds sought out the Pittsburgh Pirates last summer as they inched their way closer and closer to a potential spot in the 2025 playoffs, […]

Michael Toglia’s season likely done as he heads for shoulder surgery

Michael Toglia dove for a ball in left field over the weekend in Arizona while playing a position he really had no business playing. He’s a 1B by trade, albeit one with a bit of right field experience, but his time in the opposite corner of the grass came in part by necessity after option […]

Savor another Chase Burns start tonight while you still can

We simply do not know how the Cincinnati Reds are going to manage ace Chase Burns as he nears an arbitrary innings limit this season. What we do know, though, is that they’re almost 100% certain to have one, and that it’s rapidly approaching soon. Burns is sitting on 136.0 IP so far during this […]

Justin Lebron, destroyer of baseballs

The Cincinnati Reds used the 18th overall pick of the 2026 Major League Baseball draft on shortstop Justin Lebron from the University of Alabama, and the early returns from his selection sure do look promising. The Reds brass assigned Lebron to High-A Dayton of the Midwest League in lieu of sticking him in the hitting […]
