Reds fall short of playoffs but build optimism for future The 2023 season began and ended with a whimper for the Cincinnati Reds. They lost 5-4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 1 and 4-3 to the St....
Joey Votto's future with the Reds is up in the air — even, seemingly, for him Votto may have played his last game as a Red on Sunday, but there are several scenarios under which he could return in 2024.

Benjamin Hochman: St. Louis is Adam Wainwright's. Adam Wainwright is St. Louis'. A look at his farewell day. In 2005, a fresh-faced, can’t-place-it face took a cab in St. Louis. The driver asked him what he did. Ballplayer, the passenger replied.

Will Benson - Three hits, steal in loss Benson went 3-for-4 with one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Benson went 7-for-16 with four steals across his last five games of the season. The outfielder was able to play semi-regularly in 2023, holding down a strong-side platoon role. He posted a .275/.365/.498 slash line with 11 home runs, 19 steals, 31 RBI, 51 runs scored, 15 doubles and eight triples across 329 plate appearances in his first year with the Reds.

Nick Martini - Smacks leadoff homer Martini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Martini led off the game with a homer on Miles Mikolas' third pitch. Martini had a couple of bursts in 2023, including going 6-for-12 with two homers over his last four games of the season. The 33-year-old ends the campaign with a .264/.329/.583 slash line, six homers, 16 RBI, 10 runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 79 plate appearances in his first major-league action since 2021.

Hunter Greene - Allows four runs in loss Greene (4-7) surrendered four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Impact The Cardinals tagged him for one run in the second inning and three more in the third, and that was enough for Greene to take the loss. The right-hander allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 26.2 innings across his last five starts of the campaign. He finished the year with a 4.82 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 152:48 K:BB through 112 innings across 22 starts. It's a small step back from his 4.44 ERA in 125.2 innings in 2022. The hard-throwing 24-year-old is still likely to feature in the Reds' rotation in 2024, but he could still benefit from further developing his changeup to improve his arsenal -- opposing hitters slugged .500 against that pitch and .515 on his fastball in 2023.

Andrew Suárez - Mediocre returns in 2023 Suarez pitched to a 7.16 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 17:15 K:BB over 27.2 innings this season.
Impact Suarez stayed in the Cardinals' bullpen after the trade deadline left the pitching staff depleted. He maintained scoreless outings just three times in 13 appearances as a long reliever in his first major-league action since he appeared in six games with the Giants in 2020. Suarez hasn't recorded a save or hold since 2019, and at 31 years old, his major-league future is likely cloudy at best.
