Reds Put Chase Burns on Hold After Arm Mobility Setback
Reds right-hander Chase Burns threw only 24 pitches in a Friday spring outing after suffering a limited range of motion in his throwing arm; manager Terry Francona said the issue is being addressed and the situation shouldn’t be overreacted as Burns battles for a rotation spot with Greene sidelined by elbow surgery. Burns’ current cap comes amid a history of injury-related workload limits, and he faces competition from Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson for one of the Reds’ starting jobs alongside Abbott, Lodolo and Singer.
