Continues scoreless run in win Abbott (2-0) earned the win Saturday, allowing five hits and three walks over 5.2 scoreless innings against St. Louis. He struck out four.

Impact Abbot got himself into a few jams in the first and fifth innings but managed to work his way out of them unscathed as the Reds provided him with plenty of early run support. The rookie left-hander was especially effective with his four-seamer in the contest, but struggled with the placement of his off-speed pitches throughout, which led to the three walks. Abbot has now won his first two starts for Cincinnati and is yet to allow a run over 11.2 innings, despite issuing seven free passes over that stretch.

Cardinals to get first look at Reds rookie LHP Andrew Abbott After appreciating his excellent big-league debut, the Cincinnati Reds will see what rookie pitcher Andrew Abbott can do for an encore

JUNE 10, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Shines in big-league debut Abbott (1-0) earned the win over Milwaukee on Monday, allowing one hit and four walks while striking out six batters over six scoreless innings.

Impact Abbott's control was a bit shaky, but he gave up just one hit -- a fifth-inning Joey Wiemer double -- in six scoreless frames. The rookie southpaw walked four batters, though some of that may be chalked up to nerves as three of them came to the first six Brewers he faced. Abbott was already expected to get more than just a spot start, and his results Monday should cement that decision. He's tentatively slated to face the Cardinals on the road his next time out.

Added to roster ahead of debut The Reds selected Abbott's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Impact Abbott is slated to make his major-league debut Monday against the Brewers and is expected to receive multiple starts with the big club. The left-hander leads the minor leagues in 2023 with 90 strikeouts, posting a 2.50 ERA and 0.93 WHIP along the way across 54 innings with Double-A Pensacola and Louisville. Abbott's first matchup is a good one, as the Brewers rank last in baseball as a team with a .281 wOBA versus lefties.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making MLB debut Monday Abbott will have his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville on Monday to start against the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The Reds are pushing Hunter Greene's start back because of hip stiffness, so Abbott will get the chance to make his MLB debut against Milwaukee on Monday. This will not be a spot start for the left-hander, Goldsmith notes, as it appears the 24-year-old will now become a part of the Cincinnati rotation. Abbott has been sensational in the minors, and while his rookie status and tough home park create some fantasy risk, there's no denying there's potential for him to help in redraft formats during the 2023 campaign.

On cusp of promotion The Reds added Abbott to their taxi squad Sunday, and he's expected to enter Cincinnati's rotation during the upcoming week, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cincinnati has five healthy starters at the moment, so expect manager David Bell to clarify whether one of those pitchers is moving to the bullpen, the minors or the injured list to clear a spot for Abbott, or if the 24-year-old lefty will become part of a six-man rotation. After earning a promotion to Louisville following a dazzling start to the season at Double-A Chattanooga, Abbott didn't slow down over his seven Triple-A starts, pitching to a 3.05 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 54:14 K:BB in 38.1 innings. The strikeout upside Abbott offers will make him an intriguing speculative pickup in deeper leagues, though he could endure some hiccups in his first exposure to the majors.

Rises to Triple-A Abbott was promoted from Double-A Chattanooga to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact After making 20 starts at Chattanooga a season ago, Abbott returned to the Southern League to begin the 2023 campaign but was able to earn a quick promotion after striking out 36 and walking just three while posting a 1.15 ERA and 0.57 WHIP across 15.2 innings through his three outings. Now at the final rung of the minor-league ladder, the 23-year-old lefty could have a realistic chance at making his MLB debut later this season if he can continue to make bats miss and limit walks in the International League.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominating Double-A hitters Abbott has 36 strikeouts and three walks while sporting a 1.15 ERA and 0.57 WHIP in 15.2 innings through three starts for Double-A Chattanooga.

Impact A 64.3 percent strikeout rate and 58.9 K-BB% is a quick way for a pitching prospect to generate buzz. While Abbott was a known prospect entering the year, most evaluators had him pegged as a back-end starter. Last year, he had a 4.75 ERA, 3.48 FIP, 1.37 WHIP, 30.8 percent strikeout rate and 10.6 percent walk rate in 20 starts at Double-A. Look for Abbott to quickly get promoted to Triple-A, as he now has over 100 innings under his belt at Double-A and will turn 24 in June. From there, he could force a promotion to the majors in short order, given that Luis Cessa and Levi Stoudt are currently in the big-league rotation. Abbott's hot start oversells his prospect value, as he's a cerebral lefty with a low-90s fastball, quality breaking ball and improved changeup, but there's no doubt he is trending up as much as any Double-A pitching prospect.
