INJURIES
Saddled with loss, blown save Pagan (2-1) was charged with the loss and a blown save Monday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.
Impact Summoned to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning, Pagan gave up a leadoff triple to Pete Crow-Armstrong before eventually serving up a walk-off solo home run to Michael Conforto. It was Pagan's third blown save of the season, which perhaps leaves the door open for someone like Tony Santillan or Graham Ashcraft to see more save chances for the Reds going forward. Through 14 innings, Pagan owns a rough 6.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB with six saves.

Blows save, earns win Sunday Pagan (2-2) blew a save and earned the win in Sunday's 7-4 extra-inning win over the Astros, allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeo...
Impact Pagan was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning but allowed a run on a one-out double. While it marked his first blown save since his season debut, the 34-year-old wound up with the win after the Reds pushed three runs across in the 10th frame. He's now 6-for-8 in save chances on the year with a 4.76 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

Bypassed for save Pagan was not used in a save situation in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.
Impact Pagan, who had been dealing with a hamstring injury, returned to the mound Friday, when he notched a save on 13 pitches. That he wasn't used on back-to-back days with a relatively fresh arm suggests manager Terry Francona was being cautious with the club's closer. Tony Santillan closed out Saturday's win.

Earns save against Minnesota Pagan (hamstring) collected his sixth save of the season Friday in the Reds' 2-1 win over the Twins, when he struck out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact Pagan injured his hamstring in his last outing against the Giants on Tuesday, but he was cleared to come out of the bullpen Friday to protect the Reds' one-run lead in the ninth. He needed just 13 pitches (eight strikes) to get through the frame for his sixth save of the season, which is tied with Mason Miller and Paul Sewald for most in the National League. It was a good sign to see Pagan back on the mound, but his usage over the weekend will be worth monitoring.

Availability on Wednesday TBD Pagan (hamstring) played catch and "felt pretty good," but his availability for Wednesday's game against the Giants has yet to be determined, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincin...
Impact Pagan's hamstring tightened up throughout Tuesday's appearance versus the Giants, and he felt it grab on his final pitch. However, after seeing the doctor and receiving treatment, he feels as though he's "dodged a bullet" with the injury. Pagan will talk with the Reds staff prior to Wednesday's contest before it's determined whether he will be available to pitch. Consider him day-to-day for the time being. If Pagan isn't cleared to pitch, Tony Santillan would likely be the first choice to fill in at closer.
APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE
Collects fifth save Pagan struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his fifth save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Giants.
Impact The 34-year-old right-hander has righted the ship after a bumpy start to the season. Pagan blew his first save chance of 2026 and got tagged for five runs and two homers in his first three appearances, but since then he's converted five straight saves and reeled off six straight scoreless outings, albeit with a 5:5 K:BB in his last six innings.

Impact Pagan came on in the bottom of the ninth in a 2-2 game and kept it tied to send it to a 10th frame. The Reds scored four in the next half inning and went on to win by three. Pagan leads the league in appearances (seven) and saves (four) and has lowered his ERA to 6.14 with four straight scoreless outings.

Grabs fourth save Pagan (4) earned the save Monday against the Marlins, tossing a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Entering the ninth inning with a two-run lead, Pagan needed just 13 pitches to secure the save, turning in a clean and efficient frame. The 34-year-old has now converted four of his five save opportunities this season, though his 7.11 ERA remains inflated from a rough outing against Pittsburgh last Wednesday. Since then, Pagan's bounced back well, allowing just one hit while striking out two in three appearances.

Picks up third save Saturday Pagan collected his third save in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Rangers, allowing one hit and two walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact Pagan walked Jake Burger to lead off the inning but got Joc Pederson to ground into a double play. Pagan then walked Josh Smith before Josh Jung reached on an infield single. Evan Carter then struck out to end the threat. Pagan's outings have been adventurous this season, as he owns an 8.44 ERA and 6:3 K:BB across 5.1 innings.

Converts second save Pagan earned the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Rangers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Pagan was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth and did so on just 13 pitches. It marked the 34-year-old's first clean frame of the season and was a much-needed rebound after he allowed four runs in a non-save situation Wednesday. He's now 2-for-3 in save chances while allowing five earned runs through 4.1 innings.

Unavailable for Monday's save Pagan was one of three relief pitches not available to pitch in Monday's 2-0 win over the Pirates.
Impact With the game on the line, Cincinnati manager Terry Francona turned to Connor Phillips, who walked the first two batters before converting the save. Pagan should be available if a closer is needed Tuesday.

Earns first save Pagan earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout.
Impact Pagan was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and worked around a one-out double to slam the door. It was an encouraging rebound after he allowed a homer and blew his first save chance Saturday. The 34-year-old could be unavailable Monday after throwing 34 high-leverage pitches over the past two days.

Suffers first blown save Pagan gave up a game-tying homer by Wilyer Abreu in Saturday's win over the Red Sox, one out away from ending the game. Overall he retired four batters, striking out two.
Impact Pagan has always been a little prone to give up home runs, including 10 last season. He converted 32 of 38 opportunities last season, so Saturday's blown save shouldn't alter his job security.

Light use early Pagan and teammate Tony Santillan will likely be used less in spring training games than custom, especially early in spring training, Charlie Goldsmith of The Dayton Daily News rep...
Impact Pagan and Santillan were heavily used by the Reds last season, particularly down the stretch as they were in the playoff run. The Reds did acquire Caleb Ferguson, Pierce Johnson and Brock Burke to help lighten the load this season.
