The way Wynns has been raking he might be a frequent DH.

- Start date
As long as they are hitting, keep them in the lineup at DH when they aren't catching over players like Candelario. Give Callihan, Hinds or Johnson an opportunity.

Noelvi Marte's suspension and demotion appears to be the kick in the ass he needed to get going. Hope that he will keep this up. It would be huge for the Reds if he does. One of Collier, Stewart, Arroyo, or any infield prospect would be more expendable in a trade for a slugger. Marte will still need to prove he can sustain a run throughout the season and against tougher opponents before considering making a drastic move. Marte looks better in the field, an area I often complained about his last year. Steer 7 for 16 since the last game of the Marlins series. Nick Lodolo was the best of the 3 Reds starters this weekend. Took care of business as they should have against Colorado and 2 games above .500. 2nd in the Central a month into the season.

Look: Cincinnati Reds 11th-Ranked Prospect Named Southern League Player of the Week
The Reds announced the news on Monday.

Hope Stephenson is ready to go soon. Guessing Miley will be a bullpen add if and when he gets healthy? Hoping he told Candelario, he's on the bench as long as Marte keeps raking and playing as well as he has been. Not sure how they cut their losses and ditch that guy. He's a waste of a roster spot. Should just be released.
Absolutely. Jeimer is just in the way of Marte and Lux who are more deserving of the starts at 3B. Doubt there is anyone that can justify taking on his dead weight contract. We all here said it was a waste at the time. Eating the contract like they did with Moustakas should be on the table. Keep Marte starting at 3B as long as he keeps hitting. The work he has put in to improve his defense is nice to see. He frustrated me with his errors last year. Cleaned that up this year.
I could see the Reds finding a spot for Miley joining the bullpen too once he is activated. Send down Diaz finally. There would be some value with him picking up a few innings in middle relief and give the Reds a spot start in case of an injury. Hopefully it won't be long until Stephenson feels he is comfortable and log enough ABs in to be activated. The production the Reds have gotten from Wynns, Lux, Marte and even Trevino through the first month has been huge.

Martinez 6 innings, one run. St. Louis has the highest team batting average this year, so this was a good start. Lux continuing to be one of the hottest hitters with 3. Marte got his 1st triple, and McLain snapped the hitless streak. He is the guy the Reds really need to get going now. Pagan has taken the closer's job and ran with it. 5 wins in a row now. 1 game back in the NL Central.

Didn’t get to watch, but seems like Martinez is starting to come around. Even though his last start was a no decision I’m Miami, he wasn’t awful. Only allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Just gonna say that I’m liking Francona so far. He doesn’t pull any punches. He also doesn’t panic and pull a pitcher at the first sign of anything going south. He gives guys a chance to work through it and pulls pitchers at the right time. Just wish the front office would quit hindering him with stupid roster moves and goofy contracts.
We were discussing Wade Miley and his role when he returns. His MRI did comeback clean after he had to exit the rehab start against Dayton early.
Sounds like it was a groin thing and not an arm issue.
Did they bring up Petty to replace Greene because they aren't sure what the weather is going to do or something? Moved his start to Friday. Not complaining, because i like when the guys can get an occasional rest, but did they just not want to risk pitching him in a game that might end up with some delays or whatever?
I'm guessing it is to give the staff some rest pushing back a start since they don't have a day off until May 12th. The double header allows them to bring up an extra player for a day.
And it’s backfired in a big way. Petty got rocked. First game was pretty terrible too. Only bright spot is EDLC extended his hit streak to 14. @cole854’s been pretty quiet about it.
I guess they forgot Lyon Richarson can start and was already on the team. Brought him in a little too late when he could have started. At least he was able to give them good innings and can be an option to turn to the next time a starter exits early. This would have been a good start for Spiers if he was healthy. They took Randy Wynne off the 40-man roster who gave them 3 innings and 1 run in Baltimore. He has given the Reds multiple innings and 1 run in both of his career games. With Suter's durability to pick up multiple innings, those 3 today could have gotten through this one without taxing the rest of the bullpen.

Luis Mey is getting called up.
Reds to promote Luis Mey, fireballer pitching prospect from Louisville, per report
Reds prospect Luis Mey made Dayton Dragons' history last April with a 103 mile-per-hour pitch.

Mey is going to be exciting to watch. Reds relief pitchers are on a streak of 35 consecutive batters retired.
Reds Activate Tyler Stephenson, Place Austin Hays On Injured List
The Reds reinstated catcher Tyler Stephenson from the 10-day IL, but hot-hitting Austin Hays took his place there. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

The 2025 Arizona Complex League Reds Roster - redsminorleagues.com
The Arizona Complex League Reds roster has been released. Their season will begin on Monday afternoon and last for 60 games.
www.redsminorleagues.com
Hunter Greene last night was fantastic. 6 innings, 2 hits, 2 walks, 1 run & 12 K's. You expect this every time he steps on the mound now.
I can't believe Zulueta there, had the easy out at home. Awful baseball IQ. Better have his bags packed for Louisville. Stephenson should just DH for now with Trevino's production so far.

Cincinnati Reds send Rhett Lowder on a rehab assignment - Redleg Nation
The Cincinnati Reds are sending Rhett Lowder out to begin a rehab assignment as he works his way back from a forearm strain.
www.redlegnation.com
The Reds offense right now is anemic. I feel sorry for the starting pitchers. They have to make a perfect pitch every time just to guarantee the game stays tied. But the front office doesn't give a shit. Everyone knew the Reds offense needed help and they refused to go get it.
I imagine they will call up Rece Hinds this time around instead of Will Benson with Callihan's broken forearm. Benson has had his chances here and played for Francona in Cleveland to know he doesn't need to be back. Rece has been putting up some huge power and speed numbers in Louisville. Hitting for decent average but still striking out nearly 30% of the time. I don't imagine that is all of a sudden going to change by getting called up. They Hays does comeback this weekend, and hope Hinds will show some better plate discipline. .274, 7 HRs, 31 RBIs, 12 SBs is more than what Dunn is giving them right now.
