Reds News

Tejay Antone is making a strong case for Comeback Player of the Year, but with Hunter Greene's season-ending injury, the Reds are left grappling with the harsh reality of their pitching staff. The Reds need ace Chase Burns to step up as they prepare to face the Nationals again, but without Greene, it’s a tall order. Meanwhile, the trade deadline was a bust, leaving fans wondering if the front office is ready to cut ties with Greene entirely. At 56-59, the Reds are hanging by a thread in a crowded playoff race, and with a recent 5-2 record showing promise, the chance of sneaking into contention hinges on immediate action. Cincinnati has to make some tough decisions and find a way to keep the momentum going.
