Impact Singer had a largely uneventful first inning, working around a one-out double but issue during his second frame. The right-hander left some balls up in the zone early and eventually starting falling behind and walking batters before being removed with the pitch count at 42 (26 strikes).

Will earn $8.75M in 2025 Singer and the Reds avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $8.75 million contract, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Singer will get a $3.9 million raise in 2025 after he submitted a 3.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 170:54 K:BB across 179.2 innings with the Royals last season before being dealt to the Reds in November. The right-hander made up for a so-so 22.3 percent strikeout rate by generating ground balls at a steady clip (47.1 GB%), and his ability to mitigate damage on flyballs may help him stave off a dramatic increase in his ERA as he moves to a more hitter-friendly environment in Great American Ball Park in 2025.

Fans six in quality start Singer did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Astros on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out six.

Impact Singer got off to a strong start, allowing just one hit over the first four innings while striking out five of the first 13 batters he faced.

Singer wouldn't get the win, but he was able to log his second quality start this month while posting at least six strikeouts for the fourth time in his last five outings. He'll look for better results in September after finishing the month of August with a 1-3 record and a 5.53 ERA.
