Chase Burns - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Mixed results Thursday Burns allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over 2.1 innings in Thursday's spring start against the Padres.

Impact Burns' slider played well and pitch count increased to 48 in his second Cactus League start, but the four-seamer was wayward. He threw just 26 strikes and fell behind against multiple batters. That includes the first at-bat of the third inning, when Rodolfo Duran took two four-seamers for balls before drilling a third fastball for a home run. Burns remains in the hunt for the final spot in the rotation.

Starts spring opener Burns walked three and did not allow a hit while striking out two over two scoreless innings as the starting pitcher in Saturday's spring opener against the Guardians.

Impact Reds manager Terry Francona wasted little time to get three of the four candidates for the fifth rotation spot in a game. Burns, Rhett Lowder and Julian Aguiar all were used for two-inning stints in the Cactus League kickoff. Burns overcame a couple of four-pitch walks in the first inning and a two-out walk in the second while working his pitch count to 37 (15 strikes). He used a new in-development changeup to induce a weak flyout to center field. "My changeup was really good. It gives me a lot of confidence," Burns told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. Working on secondary pitches have been a focus for Burns in early in camp. The right-hander also used his four-seamer, slider and sinker.

In mix for rotation Burns will compete for the fifth starter's role during spring training, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Burns experienced just about everything a pitcher can in his rookie season in 2025, hitting three levels of the minors before making his MLB debut with the Reds. He also experienced an injury, time on the injured list and returning to pitch as a reliever over the final weeks of the regular season and into the postseason. The right-hander held his own for the most part and can leverage that experience to compete for the final rotation spot. His fellow candidates for the job are Rhett Lowder, Brandon Williamson and Julian Aguiar (elbow). Burns possesses an elite four-seamer along with an effective slider (43.9 Whiff percent) but needs to develop a changeup to keep hitter guessing.

Activated from injured list The Reds activated Burns (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Burns wound up missing a month of action with a Grade 1 right flexor strain. He did not go out on a rehab assignment, and the Reds' plan is to deploy the rookie flamethrower as a reliever down the stretch. While Burns is likely to be quite successful in a relief role, he will not be used as the team's closer, so it will be difficult for him to churn out much fantasy value in the final weeks.

Will return to bullpen Burns (elbow) will initially pitch out of the bullpen upon his expected activation Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burns will be limited in his innings and usage but could make a serious impact as a reliever. The right-hander can pair a triple-digit fastball and wipeout slider in short outings. Burns has worked his way back from a flexor tendon strain that's kept him on the injured list since Aug. 15 (retroactive to Aug. 12).

Slated to return Friday The Reds intend to activate Burns (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Burns was cleared to resume throwing in mid-August and progressed to facing live hitters in early September. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a Grade 1 right elbow strain, and it appears the 22-year-old will skip a rehab assignment and return to the majors ahead of Friday's series opener. He started in eight major-league games prior to his injury and posted a 5.24 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings, but manager Terry Francona has hinted at Burns serving out of the Reds' bullpen for the tail end of the 2025 season.
