Earns win in spot start Lorenzen (2-1) recorded the win Tuesday versus Pittsburgh after giving up one run on four hits with six strikeouts and zero walks across five innings.

Impact The 28-year-old received his first start since 2018 with Sonny Gray (back) on the injured list, and he performed well as he garnered 15 swinging strikes on 76 pitches. Lorenzen has a 4.56 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB over 25.2 innings and is likely to return to the bullpen role despite the strong showing as a spot starter.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • Associated Press

Starting Tuesday Lorenzen will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lorenzen will start his first game since 2018 as a replacement for Sonny Gray (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Lorenzen hasn't lasted more than four innings in any of his relief appearances this season, but he should be well-rested since he last pitched Sept. 10.

Saves bullpen Monday Lorenzen threw four scoreless innings in relief in Monday's loss to the Cardinals, striking out three while allowing two hits and a walk.

Impact While this was a huge effort to save the rest of the bullpen, it's not very good for Lorenzen's fantasy value. He's not going to be available for a few days, plus the Reds went out and acquired Archie Bradley, who presumably will be ahead of Lorenzen in the pecking order should anything happen to Raisel Iglesias.

AUGUST 22, 2020 • Associated Press

Earns win in relief Lorenzen (1-1) allowed one walk and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday versus the Cardinals.

Impact Lorenzen produced just his third scoreless outing in nine appearances this year. His ERA dropped to 8.71 with a 1.55 WHIP and 10 strikeouts over 10.1 innings. The 28-year-old's last two appearances have come in lower-leverage situations -- he has a hold and a blown save in 2020, but isn't likely to see many save chances.

AUGUST 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Multiple scoreless innings Lorenzen threw 3.1 scoreless innings in Thursday's loss to the Pirates, allowing just one hit while striking out two.

Impact This was Lorenzen's first outing since getting blown up by the Brewers on Sunday, and just his second appearance in eight in which he didn't allow a run. He and Cody Reed combined for six innings after Anthony DeSclafani allowed nine runs over two innings, saving the rest of the bullpen.

Struggles continue Lorenzen did not retire any of the four batters he faced in Sunday's loss to the Brewers. He was charged with three runs on a hit and three walks.

Impact The right-hander has now given up at least one run in six of his seven appearances this season, resulting in a 16.88 ERA. Reds players and coaches backed Lorenzen in postgame interviews, though manager David Bell suggested the team will discuss Lorenzen's role. "Looking forward, we will re-evaluate what we can do to get him back to where he needs to be," Bell told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. "We'll be thinking about that. At this point, for the team and for Michael, we've just got to do whatever's best for him." It would not be a surprise to see Lorenzen move down a few rungs in the bullpen until he gets right. With Pedro Strop (groin) out, that leaves the Reds with Nate Jones, Lucas Sims and maybe even Tyler Mahle to handle key spots in the middle innings against righty-heavy portions of the opposing lineup.
