Carson Spiers - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

No longer starting Sunday Spiers pitched out of the bullpen in Saturday's loss to the Orioles, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings.

Impact Spiers was promoted originally for the purpose of starting Sunday in place of Nick Lodolo (paternity), but manager Terry Francona changed those plans on the fly, calling upon Spiers for mop-up duty after Hunter Greene allowed five runs over three innings Saturday. "(Spiers) wore it like a trooper," Francona told Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News after Saturday's game while declining to name a starter for the series finale. Goldsmith suggests the Reds will need to make at least one roster move to bolster the pitching staff prior to Sunday's game, and Spiers is almost certainly headed back to Triple-A Louisville for the time being.

Sent down to Triple-A The Reds optioned Spiers to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Spiers had a solid start to begin his season, allowing one earned run through six innings of work April 1. However, he allowed four earned across 3.1 innings in his following start Sunday. The 27-year-old will return to Triple-A Louisville, where he posted a 2.51 ERA across 46.2 innings in 2024. With Spiers's demotion and Matt McLain (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Will Benson and Noelvi Marte were both recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Ineffective versus Brewers Spiers (0-2) pitched 3.1 innings, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three batters on his way to a loss in Sunday's 8-2 defeat to the Brewers.

Impact Spiers was able to pitch two scoreless frames before running into trouble in the third inning. He surrendered three hits and two runs in the frame before the wheels fell completely off in the fourth. After giving up back-to-back singles to open the inning, Spiers was pulled from the game, and both of the runners later came around to score. The right-hander has now given up five runs over 9.1 innings in two starts this season, and with Andrew Abbott (shoulder) eligible to return to the rotation Saturday, it's unclear if Spiers will make another start or transition into being a bullpen arm.

Handed tough-luck loss Spiers (0-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out five and taking a loss against Texas.

Impact Spiers delivered a quality start in his season debut, but the Reds were victims of a complete game shutout by Nathan Eovaldi. The only damage against Spiers was a solo shot from Wyatt Langford in the first inning. Spiers generated 11 whiffs on 85 total pitches (48 strikes).

Throws final Cactus League outing Spiers allowed one run on four hits while striking out one over four relief innings in Saturday's spring start against San Diego.

Impact Spiers entered after game starter Andrew Abbott in what was his final Cactus League outing before he opens the regular season with a spot in the rotation. That spot is considered temporary and will last as long as it takes Abbott to build up his pitch- and innings-count. Spiers closed out spring training with a 2.57 ERA through 14 innings over four appearances (one start).
