Cincinnati Reds Confirm Derek Johnson Departure Amid Pitching Staff Struggles

Cincinnati Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall announced on October 1, 2026, that pitching coach Derek Johnson will not return for the 2027 season. Johnson, who joined the organization in 2019, took a personal leave of absence in June and has not returned. The club will immediately begin searching for a replacement. This decision follows a difficult 2026 season where the Reds ranked 28th in team ERA, with key starters like Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo suffering significant injuries.

Bregman Hit in Face by Foul Ball; Cubs Head to Hospital for Tests

Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman was struck in the left cheekbone by a foul ball in Cincinnati and was taken to the hospital for X‑rays and CT scans; he left the game after going 1-for-1 with an RBI and a run, and the Cubs hadn’t decided yet whether he’d travel back to Chicago, as manager Craig Counsell stressed health first after the 9‑1 win.

Reds DFA Friedl to Clear 40-Man Space for Spiers

The Cincinnati Reds designated outfielder TJ Friedl for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Carson Spiers, who will join Louisville after the move as Chase Burns lands on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain. Friedl, who debuted for Cincinnati in 2021 and had a breakout year in 2023, has slumped to a .179/.259/.256 line with a 44 wRC+ in 2026 and was optioned to Louisville before being DFA’d. Spiers hasn’t pitched in the majors in 2026 after elbow surgery and owns a 5.69 ERA in 117 MLB innings (2023–25). The Reds are expected to non-tender Friedl after the season; he could pursue free agency but would forfeit some guaranteed money if he declines an outright assignment.

De La Cruz’s 102-MPH Relay Snuffs Dodgers’ Inside-the-Park Bid

Elly De La Cruz fired a 102-mph relay to home to tag Teoscar Hernández out at the plate on what looked like an inside-the-park homer, a play initially logged at 105.3 mph and later confirmed at 102 mph. It’s the fastest infielder-assisted throw since 2015, highlighting a strong September for the Reds shortstop as Cincinnati stays on the fringes of the playoff race.

Reds Retain Suárez, Friedl After Unclaimed Waivers, Kickstart Offseason Payroll Talks

Veterans Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl cleared outright waivers and will remain with the Reds, leaving Cincinnati to weigh offseason moves as they approach the postseason eligibility deadline; Suárez is owed roughly $2.57M of his $15M salary and is hitting .208/.295/.410 with 19 homers, while Friedl is owed about $633K of his $3.8M and has slumped to .158/.242/.234 with 1-for-34.

Reds Place Suárez and Friedl on Waivers, Eyeing September Moves

The Cincinnati Reds placed Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl on waivers (not designated for assignment), allowing them to remain with Cincinnati during the 48‑hour waiver window if unclaimed. If a contending club claims either player, Cincinnati would shed part of their remaining salaries; if they clear waivers, they’ll finish the season with the Reds. Suárez, making $15M with 19 homers but a .208/.295/.410 line, could be a right‑handed power bench option for a contender, while Friedl, owed about $3.8M in arbitration and slumping to .158/.242/.234, is likely to be non‑tendered next offseason. Waiver priority is inverse standings, with the Angels atop the list, and most likely no club will claim them, though a rental scenario remains possible for a team still in playoff contention.

Reds' Toglia to End Season with Shoulder Surgery

Reds outfielder Michael Toglia will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery after a dislocated shoulder was diagnosed as a labrum tear, ending his MLB debut stint begun Aug. 11. He went 2-for-26 in 10 games following a strong Triple-A season, and Cincinnati could move him to the 60-day injured list to open a roster spot, with offseason roster questions including possible waivers or a minor-league contract.

Marte's casino detour shadows D-backs' win over Reds

Ketel Marte, who is on the 10-day injured list with left knee inflammation, reportedly spent about four hours at a casino Friday night while the Diamondbacks hosted the Reds and was a no-show for Arizona's 9-0 win. Manager Torey Lovullo said Marte is free to do what he wants as long as he resumes rehab duties, which included an earlier session at Salt River Fields; Marte had a meeting with Diamondbacks leadership, and his absence has prompted calls for explanation from teammates. With an IL stint looming, the club hopes minimal time on the injured list as Marte eyes a return in the final month.

Brutal Ninth-Inning Blunder Lifts Cardinals Over Reds

With Cincinnati leading 5-4 and two outs in the ninth, Dane Myers couldn’t glove a routine fly off J.J. Wetherholt, the ball deflecting for an error that allowed two runs to score and gave St. Louis the lead; the Cardinals added four more in the top of the inning, Reds answered with four in the bottom, and Matt McLain’s bases-loaded line drive to Jordan Walker ended it at 10-9. Myers took responsibility, citing sun and a prior discussion with Friedl about the gap, while Reds manager Terry Francona called it a simple misplay as Cincinnati fell to 61-67 and seven games out of the NL wild-card with about a month left.

Hunter Greene's Second Tommy John Surgery Drops a Promising Pitcher Back to Question Marks

Hunter Greene, once hailed as baseball’s next big thing and featured on Sports Illustrated’s cover, has announced a second Tommy John surgery that will sideline him for the rest of 2026 and all of 2027. After a strong 2024–25 showing—including an All-Star season and career-best numbers—recurrent injuries (groin issues, elbow problems) and a 2026 elbow surgery led to a difficult season, culminating in this latest procedure. The six-year, $53 million Reds deal in 2023 underscored expectations he would rebound, but his body’s fragility has turned a potential breakout into a cautionary tale about the road back from multiple major surgeries.

Elbow setback shelves Reds pitcher Greene for 2027 season

Hunter Greene is expected to miss the entire 2027 season after a revision of his Tommy John surgery, with a return window of 12-18 months. After bone chips were removed in spring 2026 and just five starts in 2026, the Reds will lean on Chase Burns and Andrew Abbott while Greene’s $15 million 2027 salary (and a $21 million club option for 2029) shapes the club’s finances in a low-spending year.
