Chase Burns - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Rebounds after tough start Burns settled for a no-decision Thursday against the Giants, allowing no runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four in six innings of work.

Impact After a tough start last time out in which Burns surrendered five runs to the Angels, the young hurler looked much more like the Burns from the first two starts of the season. Aside from the 5.1 innings pitched against the Angels, the 23-year-old has allowed just one run and struck out 20 batters in 17 innings. All told, he still has a very respectable 2.42 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the season. His next scheduled outing pits him against the Rays, fourth in MLB with a .266 team batting average, on Tuesday.

Gives up five runs in loss Burns (1-1) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Angels after allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out two through 5.1 innings.

Impact Burns was coming off posting a quality start on the road against the Rangers the last time out, but he didn't have his best stuff in this one. He tossed only 57 of his 92 pitches for strikes and also gave up two homers -- a two-run shot to Zach Neto and a solo one to Josh Lowe. Burns was coming off allowing just one earned run through 11 innings in his previous two starts, so some regression was inevitable. He'll hope to bounce back in his next scheduled start against the Giants at home next week.

Dominant in no-decision Burns did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Burns opened with six scoreless innings before surrendering a solo homer in the seventh and leaving with a 1-1 tie without recording an out in the frame. He threw 59 of 87 pitches for strikes while generating an eye-popping 21 whiffs and has now tallied 16 strikeouts through his first two starts this season. The 23-year-old has allowed just one run across 11 innings and lines up for a home matchup against the Angels next weekend.

Dazzles in season debut Burns (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and three walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact It was a sparkling season debut for the hard-throwing right-hander, who held Pittsburgh to a lone single in the hit column. Burns touched 99 mph on his fastball on 10 occasions, producing an impressive 15 swings and misses on the evening as well. The righty is set for his next start later this week in Texas versus the Rangers, and Burnes will be looking to stretch out further after throwing 78 pitches Monday.

Will pitch fourth game Burns is scheduled to start the fourth game of the regular season, March 30, against the Pirates, Rich Rovito of MLB.com reports.

Impact Burns was originally confirmed to be part of a three-pitcher crew that would combine to fill the fourth and fifth rotation spots, but plans changed when the Reds announced that Nick Lodolo (blister) will begin the regular season on the injured list. The trio of Burns, Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson will now have their own spot in the rotation to begin the season. Burns finished off his preseason work Tuesday, tossing 68 pitches over five innings in an exhibition game against the Brewers.

Makes his first Opening Day roster Burns was told by the Reds that he has made the Opening Day roster, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Burns was informed along with fellow starters Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson. The three of them will occupy two rotation spots and back each other up in those spots due to their recent injury histories or lack of experience. Burns got his first big league action in the second half of the 2025 season in which he struggled. The 2024 second overall pick started in eight of his 13 appearances and finished with a 4.57 ERA with a record of 0-3. During spring training in 2026, the 23-year-old gave up four runs across 3.2 innings in one outing, but no more than one in his other three.

Not yet locked in for Opening Day The Reds could elect to hold Burns off the Opening Day roster to ensure he has enough time to ramp up to a starter's workload, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burns was held to a 24-pitch outing Friday after the Reds didn't like the right-hander's arm movement early in his start, and Rosecrans notes that because Burns may not be as stretched out as some of the other starters, the club could decide to give him a few more chances to ramp all the way up before sending him out on a big-league mound. However, it's important to point out that this is simply a roster projection for a player who will be heavily involved in Cincinnati's pitching plans for 2026. Outside of Friday's appearance, the Reds have been quite pleased with Burns so far this spring, with the team stating earlier Monday that the 23-year-old's Sunday bullpen session went very well, per Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati.

Short outing Friday Burns allowed one hit and struck out two over two scoreless innings in Friday's spring start against the Giants.

Impact At a stage in spring training when most starters are ramping up to four or five innings, Burns was intentionally held back Friday. Reds manager Terry Francona discussed the pitcher's usage with Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. "This kid is still working through some of his routines and stuff," Francona said. "And he had a good five days with the trainers working on the flexibility and the mobility. We just want to make sure. ... He's good to go. It might cost him an inning, but he's OK." Burns' previous outings were marked by falling behind hitters and running into trouble, so his 17 strikes over 24 pitches Friday was a good sign. Francona confirmed that Burns will still be stretched out as a starter going forward, which means he's still in the mix for one of two available rotation spots along with Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson.
