Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds are bracing for the return of Elly De La Cruz, which should breathe new life into a struggling lineup that just suffered an embarrassing 1-9 loss to the Mets. With JJ Bleday hitting .265, he has quickly become a bright spot, but the team's offensive inconsistency remains concerning. Noelvi Marte's recent struggles highlight ongoing issues with the Reds' attempts to convert infielders into outfielders. Meanwhile, Chase Burns continues to impress with a 2.01 ERA, providing much-needed stability in the absence of Hunter Greene. As the Reds navigate roster changes, including the selection of Will Banfield and the ousting of P.J. Higgins, fans are left wondering if this squad can turn the season around with the second half approaching.

CINCINNATI – As a free agent before he signed with the Reds in December, outfielder JJ Bleday sensed it would be a good fit for him in Cincinnati.

Reds Select Will Banfield, Outright P.J. Higgins
The Reds announced that catcher Will Banfield has been selected to the 40-man roster and optioned to Triple-A Louisville. Fellow catcher P.J. Higgins has been outrighted to open a 40-man spot. It wasn’t previously reported that Higgins was off the 40-man roster so it seems Cincinnati quietly put him on waivers a few days ago. […]

The Jekyll and Hyde nature of the Cincinnati Reds offense
The Cincinnati Reds are 73 games into their 162 game trek through the 2026 Major League Baseball season. They’re inching closer to being half-done with this latest experiment, and that’s a sample size large enough to begin to make some objective observations. Some of them stick out like a sore thumb, particularly on the offensive […]
