The Reds have lots of work to do, but Francona will 'never not be optimistic' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TORONTO -- The Reds made the playoffs in 2025 with the final National League Wild Card spot before being swept in two games by the Dodgers. That experience gave Cincinnati's young clubhouse the resolve to not only return to the postseason but go further. The 2026 Reds didn't get remotely close. At 75-87, Cincinnati finished last in the NL Central. The season ended with a 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays. “There were high expectations," closer Emilio Pagán said. "The reason it hurt so much for a lot of
With swipe of third, Elly becomes 4th Reds player to secure 30-30 season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TORONTO — When shortstop Elly De La Cruz debuted as an electric, five-tool phenom for the Reds in 2023, many observers wondered if a 30/30 season might be just the beginning of what he could accomplish. It happened Friday during a 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Building momentum all month — especially this week — De La Cruz's blend of power and speed culminated with his first season of reaching 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases. "It's really special. That means a great season," De La
Elly saves injured bird, then soars with 2-run homer, 4-RBI game (opens the original)

CINCINNATI — Usually a shortstop, Elly De La Cruz served as the Reds' designated hitter on Sunday. Not only did De La Cruz put baseballs into flight with his bat against the Brewers, he flashed some avian trapping and fowling skills to nab a troubled bird unable to get back in the air. It was all in a day’s work during a 12-8 win over Milwaukee at Great American Ball Park. De La Cruz provided four RBIs in the victory, including a two-run home run in the fourth inning and a go-ahead two-run doubl
Williamson tosses name back into rotation hat with solid return start (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CINCINNATI -- While the Reds are still trying to win as many games as they can during what remains of the 2026 season, they're also trying to envision a 2027 starting rotation without the injured Hunter Greene. That's where Brandon Williamson can come into the picture. Pitching for Cincinnati on Wednesday for the first time since April 29, Williamson has a chance for strong consideration. “This is an important month for him, yeah," manager Terry Francona said before his team faced the Padres. Wi
Burns overcomes PCA's homer and much more in electric night at Wrigley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CHICAGO -- There was plenty for All-Star starter Chase Burns to overcome while pitching for the Reds against the Cubs on Sunday night at Wrigley Field. Among the obstacles: heavy rain showers, a tough opposing lineup topped by MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong and his own team's suspect defense. As Burns persevered, his lineup picked him up with four home runs and he came away with his 15th victory during a series-clinching 7-5 win over the Cubs. He pitched 5 2/3 innings with three runs (two ear
