Adding sinker Burns (groin) worked on adding a sinker in his September outings before getting placed on the 15-day injured list to end his season, Charlie Goldsmith of FOX19 reports.

Impact Burns used the sinker nine times in his last start against the Cubs, with the purpose of giving his fastball another look. "It was moving a lot," Burns said. "Why not? My normal fastball is a cut-carry. This looks different to them. Having two fastballs is the big new thing. You look at Cam Schlittler. He has a cutter, a fastball and a sinker."

Out with groin strain The Reds placed Burns on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right groin strain.

Impact The right-hander's workload has been limited during the final weeks of his rookie campaign, and he'll be shut down a bit early due to a groin injury. Burns elected not to pitch in the All-Star Game in July due to a similar injury, but there's no indication this is a serious concern. It was a strong debut season for the 23-year-old, who went 15-3 in 2026 with a 2.86 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 185:56 K:BB across 154.1 innings.

Workload limited again Friday Burns didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-4 win over the Cubs, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out four.

Impact With the Reds out of the playoff picture, Burns is having his workload limited to close out his first full season in the majors, as he's already blown his previous career high in innings out of the water with 154.1 IP this year. The 23-year-old righty has tossed exactly three frames in all three of his September outings, posting a 4.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in those nine innings. He'll make one more trip to the mound in 2026, a start scheduled to come on the road next week in Atlanta.

Goes three innings again Sunday Burns did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out five.

Impact Burns was limited to 56 pitches as the Reds continue to limit the young right-hander's workload down the stretch. Both of the runs charged to Burns came on a Joey Ortiz homer in the second inning, the 16th long ball he's given up this season. Overall, Burn's ERA now sits at 2.80 across 28 starts (151.1 innings) this year with a 1.15 WHIP and 181:54 K:BB. He's tentatively in line to face the Cubs at home his next time out.

Strong for three innings Burns walked one and struck out five over three scoreless, no-hit innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Monday.

Impact Burns' workload is being curtailed late in the season. He threw just 44 pitches (26 strikes) in this contest, and similar pitch counts can be expected for the remainder of his starts. Unless he moves to the back half of a piggyback situation, it will be virtually impossible for him to work deep enough to qualify for wins. Burns is at a 2.73 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 176:51 K:BB through 148.1 innings over 27 starts this year. He is expected to work in tandem with Brandon Williamson again over the weekend in Milwaukee.

Off until Monday, innings limit on tap Manager Terry Francona said that Burns won't make his next start until Sept. 7 against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, and the Reds intend to monitor his innings and pitch counts for t...

Impact Though his outing next Monday could more closely resemble his first 26 starts of the season, Burns will be operating with restrictions the rest of the way since he's already amassed 145.1 innings in 2026, surpassing his 2025 total by more than 30 innings. More specifically, Francona mentioned that he plans to have Brandon Williamson (shoulder) -- who is set to return from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Padres -- piggyback the 23-year-old Burns whenever the latter's turn in the rotation comes up in September. With a 65-72 record, the Reds are virtually eliminated from playoff contention, so ensuring the long-term health of their young ace will take on added import over the final month of a non-contending season.

Picks up 15th win Burns (15-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out seven.

Impact Burns surrendered a leadoff homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong but was able to turn in a fairly respectable outing, falling one out shy of a quality start. The hard-throwing right-hander took a step back in August, posting a 4.13 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB across 32.2 innings (six starts) in the month. Overall, Burns owns a stellar 2.79 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 171:50 K:BB through 145.1 innings (26 starts). His next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Brewers.

Ambushed in third loss Burns (14-3) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk over 3.2 innings against the Giants. He struck out five.

Impact Burns was blitzed by the Giants offense, allowing two runs in the first inning before surrendering a three-run homer to Rafael Devers in the second frame. Monday marked the right-hander's shortest outing of the year, as he had logged at least five innings in every previous start. Burns has looked more human in August, pitching to a 4.33 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB across 27 innings (five starts) this month. Overall, the 23-year-old owns a sterling 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 164:49 K:BB across 139.2 innings (25 starts) and will look to get back on track next time out, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Cubs.
