Starting rehab assignment Hoffman (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Hoffman has missed nearly a month after exiting a late-May start with a sore shoulder. That could mean he requires multiple rehab outings before being activated from the injured list, though the Reds have yet to specify when they expect him back.

Rehab assignment coming next week Hoffman (shoulder) has been throwing bullpen sessions at Triple-A Louisville this week and is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with the affiliate next week, Bobby Nightengale...

Impact Hoffman, who hasn't pitched since May 27 due to right shoulder soreness, will likely make one or two rehab starts for Louisville while the Reds weigh whether to bring him back as a member of the rotation or bullpen once he's activated. Before landing on the shelf, the right-hander was serviceable but unspectacular over his 10 starts, posting a 4.61 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 41 innings. Meanwhile, Vladimir Gutierrez (2.74 ERA and 1.09 through four starts) has been impressive as Hoffman's replacement in the rotation, and his quality work may be enough to keep him ahead of Hoffman in the pecking order when both are healthy.

Rehab assignment not imminent Manager David Bell said Tuesday that Hoffman (shoulder) could go on a rehab assignment later this month, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Bell was far from specific in updating the right-hander's return timeline, but it appears evident that he's likely a ways out from going on a rehab assignment. Given that he'll likely need to make multiple rehab outings when that time comes, a mid-to-late-June return to the Reds seems like the absolute best case scenario at this point.

Diagnosed with shoulder impingement Hoffman was diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hoffman was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, but his shoulder injury won't require surgery. The right-hander is heading back to Cincinnati to be further examined, and a better idea of his return timetable could come into focus once his visit with the medical staff is complete.

Lands on injured list Hoffman (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Hoffman left his start Wednesday against the Nationals with right shoulder soreness, and the issue is evidently serious enough to cause him to miss at least one start. His expected return date is not yet clear. The righty is pitcher better than usual this season after finally escaping Coors Field, but his 4.61 ERA and 1.59 WHIP are still not particularly impressive. Cionel Perez was called up in a corresponding move.

Nursing sore shoulder Hoffman exited Wednesday's start against the Nationals with right shoulder soreness, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 28-year-old struggled with his command Wednesday and issued five walks before being lifted with the injury after 1.1 innings. Hoffman's availability for his next turn through the rotation is in question due to the injury.

Departs with injury Hoffman was removed from Wednesday's start against the Nationals with an apparent injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 28-year-old threw only 20 of 46 pitches for strikes while walking five batters over 1.1 innings before exiting with the athletic trainer. It's unclear if the unspecified injury will affect Hoffman's next turn through the rotation.

MAY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win Friday Hoffman (3-3) earned the win Friday against the Brewers after tossing five innings of one-run ball, giving up two hits and four walks while fanning seven.

Impact Hoffman lasted at least five innings for the first time since April 22 while recording his first win since April 16. The right-hander has posted a 6.13 ERA this month, which is a marked increase on the 3.33 ERA he had in five April appearances.

No-decision in Colorado Hoffman allowed five runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts in four innings versus Colorado on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The 28-year-old got through three innings with little trouble, but Colorado struck for five runs in the fourth. Hoffman didn't help his cause much, as his throwing error led to a run. The right-hander has gone five starts without a win, and he's failed to reach the fifth inning in his last four outings. He has a 4.67 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 32:18 K:BB across 34.2 innings. He lines up to face Milwaukee in next weekend's series.

Falls to Bucs Hoffman (2-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings as the Reds were downed 7-2 by the Pirates. He struck out four.

Impact For the third straight start, Hoffman failed to get past four innings as he tossed 46 of 75 pitches for strikes. The right-hander will take a 4.70 ERA and 27:15 K:BB through 30.2 innings into his next outing.

MAY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Chased early by ChiSox Hoffman (2-2) took the loss in Tuesday's 9-0 mauling at the hands of the White Sox, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander needed 63 pitches (36 strikes) to record only seven outs in his shortest start of the season. Hoffman will carry a 4.39 ERA and 23:13 K:BB through 26.2 innings into his next outing.

MAY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles to throw strikes Hoffman allowed three earned runs on one hit and five walks while striking out three across four innings of work Tuesday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Hoffman threw only 38 of his 73 pitches for strikes and walked multiple batters in both the first and fourth innings. He managed to hold the Dodgers scoreless through three innings, but led off his final frame with two walks and then surrendered a home run to Will Smith. Now through 24.1 innings on the campaign, Hoffman has maintained a solid 3.33 ERA but has only a 19:12 K:BB. He's projected to draw the White Sox on Monday for his next turn through the rotation.

Lowers ERA to 2.66 Hoffman was charged with two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact This one ended up a 14-11 Diamondbacks win in 10 innings, but the starters were effective through the first half of the game, with Hoffman getting the better of Taylor Widener. Hoffman was able to largely overcome the shaky defense behind him, lowering his ERA to 2.66 through 20.1 innings with the Reds. Hoffman threw 88 pitches in this game after reaching 91 pitches in his previous start. He has allowed just two homers on the year even with three of his four starts coming at home in Cincinnati. Up next is a tough road test against the Dodgers.

Quality start in Friday's win Hoffman (2-1) picked up the win in Friday's 10-3 rout over Cleveland, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks over six innings while striking out four.

Impact The right-hander found out earlier this week he would remain in the rotation after the return of Sonny Gray, and Hoffman celebrated with his first quality start of the season, tossing 58 of 91 pitches for strikes. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing Thursday, at home against the Diamondbacks.

Remains in rotation The Reds officially moved Jose De Leon to the bullpen Wednesday, which means that Hoffman will remain in the rotation, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Neither Hoffman nor De Leon pitched well over the weekend against the Diamondbacks, but the presumed favorite prior to the weekend was Hoffman. The decision was necessitated by the return of Sonny Gray from the IL. It might be likely that Hoffman could have some security in the role with Michael Lorenzen being placed on the 60-day DL, but it's still also possible that Tejay Antone, who threw 60 pitches in his last relief outing, could ultimately start.

APRIL 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in Arizona Hoffman (1-1) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact After inducing 13 swinging strikes on 77 pitches in a win over the Cardinals in his Reds debut, Hoffman managed just seven swinging strikes on 82 pitches Saturday. Two of the three runs charged to Hoffman crossed the plate after he exited the game, but the right-hander had issues with command during his time on the mound, as evidenced by the fact he had more walks than strikeouts. If Jose De Leon has a better outing Sunday, Cincinnati could opt to keep De Leon in the rotation over Hoffman with Sonny Gray (back) due to return next week.

APRIL 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first win with new team Hoffman (1-0) allowed one run on three hits over five innings in a win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

Impact Hoffman, who had a 9.28 ERA in 16 appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen last season, turned in a gem in his first start in a Reds uniform. He filled up the strike zone and was effective before running into a bit of trouble in his final frame. The right-hander was lifted after 77 pitches and manager David Bell will likely continue to have a short hook when Hoffman is on the mound given the 28-year-old's career third-time-through-the-order numbers. Up next is a road start in Arizona.
