Cincinnati Reds Designate Two Pitchers for Assignment, Bring Back Familiar Face The bullpen carousel continues for the Reds.
JUNE 2 • SI.COM
Dane Myers - In Tuesday's lineup Myers (illness) is starting in center field and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Royals.
Impact The 30-year-old was scratched from the lineup Saturday due to an illness and also sat out of Sunday's and Monday's contests, but he's good to go Tuesday against Kansas City lefty Noah Cameron. Myers has been solid as a short-side platoon player this year with three homers, two steals and a .749 OPS in 96 plate appearances.

Lyon Richardson - DFA'd by Reds The Reds designated Richardson for assignment Tuesday.
Impact Richardson served as the opener Monday versus Kansas City and took the loss after surrendering four runs over one inning, and he's now been removed from both the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Brandon Leibrandt was also DFA'd, opening up roster space for the promotions of Zach McCambley and Luis Mey.
JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Leibrandt - DFA'd by Cincy The Reds designated Leibrandt for assignment Tuesday.
Impact The left-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville on Monday and was immediately called upon to cover six innings out of the bullpen. Leibrandt gave up five runs on 10 hits and three walks with six strikeouts. It was the 33-year-old's first big-league appearance since 2024.
JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Mey - Back in majors The Reds recalled Mey from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact The right-hander spent the past couple weeks at Louisville but is back with the Reds Tuesday for his second big-league stint of the season. Mey made six appearances for Cincinnati earlier this year and gave up five earned runs with a 14:7 K:BB across 8.1 innings.
JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE
Zach McCambley - Contract selected The Reds selected McCambley's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact The 27-year-old was acquired from the Marlins in exchange for Rece Hinds a couple weeks ago and is now on the cusp of making his MLB debut. Across 30.1 innings at the Triple-A level this year, McCambley has a 2.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB in 15 appearances (two starts).

Brandon Leibrandt - Pitches six innings in relief Leibrandt pitched six innings out of the bullpen in Monday's loss to the Royals, allowing five runs on 10 hits and three walks. He struck out three.
Impact Leibrandt was added to the Reds' bullpen just before Monday's game, and he ended up pitching six innings and tossing 99 pitches (60 strikes). The results weren't encouraging, but Cincinnati was trailing by multiple runs for Leibrandt's entire six-inning outing. This was his first big-league appearance since 2024. He posted a 5.23 ERA and 38:14 K:BB over 51.2 innings covering 11 starts with Triple-A Louisville before getting promoted.
JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE
Lyon Richardson - Allows four runs as opener Richardson (0-1) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Royals after allowing four runs on one hit and two walks in one inning of work. He also struck out two.
Impact Richardson was facing a two-out, bases-loaded situation when Lane Thomas smashed a 106.3 mph missile into left center field to give the Royals an advantage they'd never relinquish. Richardson was removed after that first inning, and now his ERA sits at 27.00 after just two big-league appearances this year. In 1.2 innings of work, he's given up five earned runs and two homers with a 3:2 K:BB.

Chase Burns - Next start coming Wednesday Burns (illness) is slated to make his next start Wednesday against the Royals after being scratched from his scheduled outing in Monday's series opener, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19...
Impact Burns came down with a fever overnight, and though the Reds are expecting his symptoms to subside quickly, he'll be given a couple extra days to rest up and recuperate. The Reds will opt for a bullpen game Monday, with right-hander Lyon Richardson opening the contest and expected to cover the first two or three innings before exiting.

Elly De La Cruz - Likely to miss 2-to-4 weeks Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that an MRI on De La Cruz's right hamstring showed between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 strain, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Impact De La Cruz was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Monday for the first time in his major-league career. He could get another MRI in a couple weeks to check the status of his progress, but early indications are that De La Cruz will likely be sidelined for 2-to-4 weeks. Matt McLain is drawing the start at shortstop for Cincinnati in Monday's game versus the Royals, and Edwin Arroyo is making his major-league debut at second base.

T.J. Friedl - Idle for second straight game Friedl is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Impact Friedl resurfaced in the Cincinnati lineup for three straight starts late last week, but despite reaching base in three of his eight plate appearances during that stretch, manager Terry Francona will send the outfielder to the bench for a second straight matchup versus a right-hander. With Friedl taking a seat, the Reds will be able to reopen a spot in the middle infield for Matt McLain, while Spencer Steer shifts to the outfield after manning the keystone in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Lyon Richardson - Drawing short-notice start The Reds announced that Richardson will serve as their opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Royals.
Impact With Chase Burns (illness) being scratched from his scheduled turn through the rotation on short notice, the Reds will turn to Richardson to make his first big-league start since 2023. Prior to being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, Richardson has worked between two and three innings in nine of his 18 appearances in the minors this season, so he should be capable of providing a little more length than the typical opener. That said, Richardson isn't expected to work deep into Monday's contest, so the Reds could count on new call-up Brandon Leibrandt -- who had been starting with Louisville -- to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen.
JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE
Edwin Arroyo - Hitting eighth in MLB debut Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth in his major-league debut Monday against the Royals.
Impact Arroyo was called up earlier Monday to take the roster spot of the injured Elly De La Cruz (hamstring). It will be Matt McLain sliding over to shortstop Monday to cover for Cruz, while Arroyo will settle in at McLain's old second-base spot. Arroyo earned a promotion after hitting .323/.383/.562 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases for Louisville.
