Brady Singer Brady Singer Sharp in no-decision
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 6:38 PM
Singer did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

Coming into the day, Singer had struggled to a 6.92 ERA while giving up 12 homers in 26 innings in his previous six outings. Overall, Singer is 2-6 with a 5.61 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 13 starts (61 innings) this season. He's tentatively lined up to face the Mets at home his next time out. |

Elly De La Cruz Elly De La Cruz Set for infield work, MRI on tap
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 1:10 PM
Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that De La Cruz (hamstring) is scheduled to take part in infield drills for the second day in a row and will undergo a follow-up MRI on Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: If the MRI reveals that De La Cruz has healed from his right hamstring strain as anticipated, he could increase the intensity of his workouts beginning next week. When De La Cruz was first placed on the shelf June 1, Francona indicated that the star shortstop would likely miss around 2-to-4 weeks, and there's little to suggest that his timeline has changed. Matt McLain has taken over as the Reds' primary shortstop since De La Cruz landed on the shelf, which has opened up more work for Edwin Arroyo and Spencer Steer at the keystone. |

The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 11:11 AM

Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 11:08 AM
The Reds optioned McCambley to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Edwin Arroyo Edwin Arroyo Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 11:07 AM
Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has started in six of the Reds' ensuing nine games but hasn't gotten going at the plate. Spencer Steer will get the nod at second base Wednesday over Arroyo, who has begun his big-league career by going 5-for-22 (.227 average) with no extra-base hits and a 2:9 BB:K. He'll need to raise his production if he hopes to stick around with the big club once Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list. |

Matt McLain Matt McLain Resurgence continues
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 6:14 AM
McLain started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double in Monday's 6-2 loss to San Diego.
Analysis: McLain has hit safely in five of six games in June, going 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles, three home runs and five RBI during the month. This production has come out of nowhere; he was batting .196 at the end of May and was not in the starting lineup for three of four games prior to Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landing on the injured list. McLain should continue to get regular run at shortstop with De La Cruz sidelined. |
