Eury Pérez’s lively fastball should keep Cincinnati quiet the first time through, but the Reds’ right-heavy core of De La Cruz, Stewart, and Stephenson is patient enough to force him into deep counts and strike in the fourth. Brady Singer’s sinker/slider combo has been prone to early traffic, and Miami’s contact hitters—Edwards and Otto Lopez—scratch out a second-inning run before Hicks’ opposite-field double fuels a two-run fifth. The middle innings tilt on bullpen depth. Miami’s high-leverage arms have been erratic, and once Pérez exits after five, the Reds capitalize: Moll neutralizes the lefties, Burke bridges the seventh, and Connor Phillips’ power arsenal punches out two in a scoreless eighth. Emilio Pagán, despite recent hiccups, leverages his fastball/elevated cutter mix to survive a tense ninth. Singer scatters eight hits but limits damage with three double-play grounders, handing off a 4-run, 6-inning effort. Cincinnati’s late insurance off a fatigued Miami reliever proves decisive. The Reds’ five-game surge continues, while the Marlins’ bats show life yet fall just short.

Reds Release Josh Staumont

Staumont's departure is a routine depth move for Cincinnati, which sits 31-29 with a -38 run differential and has already cycled multiple relievers this season.

Yunior Marté Elects Free Agency After Reds DFA

Marté's departure removes minor depth from Cincinnati's bullpen as the Reds navigate a 5-4 record over their last 10 games with a rotation already leaning on Abbott (4.02 ERA) while Singer (6.18 ERA) and Paddack (6.90 ERA) continue to struggle.

Cincinnati Reds

Reds Option Friedl, Recall Marté

Friedl exits after hitting .181/.252/.258 with a .252 xwOBA across 46 games, clearing space for Marté in Cincinnati's outfield as the Reds sit 31-29 with a -38 run differential.

Reds Designate Leibrandt, Richardson; Recall McCambley, Mey

Cincinnati (30-29, -39 run diff) clears rotation depth as Singer (6.18 ERA) and Paddack (6.90 ERA) continue to struggle; McCambley and Mey arrive with no 2026 track record, suggesting organizational desperation in a rotation averaging 5.70 ERA across five starters.

Reds place De La Cruz on IL with hamstring strain; Arroyo debuts at SS

Cincinnati loses its primary offensive engine (.362 xwOBA, 12 HR in 58 G) mid-stretch while the Reds sit 30-28 with a -32 run differential. Arroyo's debut fills the position but lacks 2026 MLB data, and the rotation remains thin with Singer (6.18 ERA) and Paddack (6.90 ERA) as backup arms.

Cardinals Return Rule 5 Pick Matt Pushard To Marlins

Pushard never threw an inning for St. Louis (27.00 ERA in 0 IP), landing on IL almost immediately after the Rule 5 selection. The move has minimal rotation impact for either team given Miami's current 5-man group anchored by Meyer (2.97 ERA, 74 SO).

Hernandez: 2 HR, 3 RBI in Marlins win over Nationals

Hernandez's two-homer night snapped Miami's 4-game skid and gave the Marlins their first win in five games at home (18-15). Washington's pitching has given up 330 runs this season (worst in NL East), making their 31-30 record surprisingly resilient given the 0.508 win% profile.

Marlins Select Brzykcy and Zuber From Triple-A

Miami adds depth arms to a rotation struggling with durability (Junk 4.80 ERA, 3-5 record; Alcantara 4.66 ERA) while sitting 26-34 and 0-8 in road games over their last five contests.

Marlins select Zach Brzykcy

Brzykcy enters a Miami rotation currently anchored by Meyer (2.97 ERA, 5-0) but relying heavily on Alcantara (4.66 ERA) and Junk (4.80 ERA, 3-5). The move addresses rotation depth as Miami sits 26-33 with a -20 run differential.

Janson Junk: Not starting, could hit IL

Junk (4.80 ERA, 3-5) exits Miami's rotation Sunday against NYM; with Eury Pérez already sidelined (gracilis strain), the Marlins face depth concerns in an already fragile staff. MIA's rotation would lean heavily on remaining starters if Junk lands on IL.
