Reds News
Chase Burns is forcing the Reds to re-evaluate their roster priorities, and it's becoming painfully clear that his impressive performance should be pivotal for their future. Coming off a much-needed 15-1 rout of the Nationals, fueled by a standout day from JJ Bleday, Cincinnati is trying to shake off a rough patch where they were outscored by 11 runs over the past week. With a current record of 22-19, the Reds are looking to regain momentum against the Guardians this weekend, which fans can enjoy for free on Reds.TV. Meanwhile, the departure of P.J. Higgins to Triple-A adds another layer of uncertainty, as Cincinnati continues to shape its roster in search of consistency amid a fluctuating season.
