Nationals Chase Petty early in loss

Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

Player Stats

Chase Petty allowed three runs (two earned) in 1 2/3 innings against the Nationals as the opener on Friday.

Chase Petty? Don’t mind if we do. The Reds didn’t have a real bulk pitcher up for this game, so Daylen Lile’s three-run bomb sent them down a string of four pitchers who didn’t throw more than 40 pitches. Petty is, obviously, to be avoided in fantasy baseball outside of streaming hitters against him at this point.

Reds optioned RHP Chase Petty to Triple-A Louisville.

Petty returns to the minors after allowing three runs — two earned — over 1 2/3 innings during an abbreviated start against the Nationals on Friday night. The 23-year-old holds a serviceable 4.83 ERA across 31 2/3 innings for the Reds this season. His departure clears a roster spot for recent waiver wire acquisition Ron Marinaccio to join the club’s active roster.

Reds optioned RHP Chase Petty to Triple-A Louisville.

Petty threw 42 pitches over the last two days and is simply being exchanged for a fresh arm. The 23-year-old holds a 4.50 ERA in 30 innings with the Reds this year, but has only struck out 14 batters over that span.

Reds recalled RHP Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville.

Petty was just optioned to Louisville on July 4 to make room in the Reds’ rotation for the return of Hunter Greene. Now with Nick Lodolo (finger) landing on the injured list, he’ll get another opportunity. The 23-year-old righty holds a 4.37 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 9/7 K/BB ratio over 22 2/3 innings in 10 appearances (two starts) with the Reds this season.
Nick Lodolo

CIN Starting Pitcher #40

Nick Lodolo left Saturday’s game in the sixth inning with a blister on his left index finger.

He allowed two runs in five-plus innings against the Cubs. Lodolo already missed the first five weeks of this season with blister issues and also lost starts in 2023 and ’24. If this is another IL-type situation, the Reds could replace him in the rotation with Chase Petty.

Reds optioned RHP Chase Petty to Triple-A Louisville.

Petty loses his spot with the Reds in a multi-inning relief role with ace Hunter Greene returning from the injured list to make his season debut. The 23-year-old has delivered a respectable 4.37 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 9/7 K/BB ratio across 22 2/3 innings this season.
Emilio Pagán

CIN Relief Pitcher #15

Emilio Pagán (hamstring) will be activated from the injured list for Tuesday’s game against the Brewers.

Pagán wrapped up a minor league rehab assignment over the weekend and will regain his role as Cincinnati’s closer. The 35-year-old veteran stopper has been out since early May working his way back from a hamstring strain. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues based on his track record and minimal in-house competition with the Reds.
Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

Chase Petty tossed a scoreless ninth inning to convert the save against the Pirates on Saturday.

Petty got the call to close out the game against the Pirates after the team took a two-run lead in the top of the ninth. He worked around one walk, keeping the Pirates off the board to secure the win and lock down his first save of the season. It’s been a full-on committee in Cincinnati while Emilio Pagán has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. Pagán, currently on a rehab assignment, could be returning soon to take back the closer role.

Reds recalled RHP Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville

Petty was once a top prospect for the Reds, but he is pitching to a 6.17 ERA in 42 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season. His last two appearances for the Reds have been as a starter, but they don’t seem to need one right now, unless the Reds are planning to use him as a spot starter when they have six games in a row beginning on Friday.
Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

Chase Petty surrendered four runs in five innings and struck out only one against the Cardinals in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

Petty was just the 27th man tonight, so he’s going back to Triple-A on Sunday. Still, he didn’t really help his chances of getting a longer look later. He gave up 10 hard-hit balls, and he generated just three misses on 33 swings. Between his three outings last year and two this season, he has a 10.80 ERA as a major leaguer.
Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

Chase Petty will be the Reds’ 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Petty will start Game 2 while Chris Paddack toes the rubber in Game 1. Petty made his season debut against the Cubs back on May 4, allowing three earned runs over 5 2/3 innings while striking out one. Saturday will be his second start of the year with the big league club.

Tigers promoted C/1B Josue Briceño to Triple-A Toledo.

Briceño is the 54th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. He hit .297/.382/.672 in 17 games at Double-A after being activated from the 60-day IL in July following wrist surgery. Briceño also tallied eight home runs, 19 RBI, and a 16/9 K/BB ratio. He’ll likely need to play first base long-term in Detroit with Dillon Dingler entrenched as the team’s franchise catcher.

Brewers promoted 1B prospect Blake Burke to Triple-A Nashville.

Burke slashed .285/.367/.603 in 96 games with Double-A Biloxi. He posted 30 home runs, 88 RBI, and 28 steals but also had a 102/44 K/BB ratio. The Brewers’ offense rarely has a hitter with this type of power and swing-and-miss, so it will be interesting to see how Burke fits as he rises up the affiliates.

Mets INF prospect Billy Amick went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday.

Amick came to the Mets in a deadline deal for A.J. Minter and has been on fire since. In his seven games in the Mets organization, he’s hitting .333/.429/.958 with five home runs, 13 RBI, and one steal. He does have 11 strikeouts in those seven games, so swing-and-miss will always be part of his game, but he has 28 home runs in 93 total games at Triple-A this season, so the power is very real.

Christian Moore went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, and an RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Moore is hitting .307/.434/.517 in 78 games at Triple-A with 10 home runs, 56 RBI, and 13 steals with an 84/65 K/BB ratio. With the Angels out of playoff contention, it would make sense for them to call Moore up again and give him an actual chance at playing time.

Zac Veen went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs for Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Veen is now hitting .455/.514/1.121 in eight games in August with five home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs, and two steals. Unfortunately, with Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg, and Jake McCarthy in Colorado, there is no room for Veen.

Nationals SS prospect Seaver King went 3-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

King is hitting .284/.361/.469 in 41 games at Triple-A with seven home runs, 29 RBI, and four steals. With CJ Abrams continuing to struggle defensively at shortstop, it’s fair to wonder if the Nationals would consider a position change in the offseason to ensure a place for King in the 2027 lineup.

Oneil Cruz (hand) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Cruz played seven innings in center field on Sunday and will now be evaluated by the Pirates. His results haven’t been great in Triple-A, but if the organization deems that he’s healthy enough to return, we could see Cruz back in the lineup this week.

Kristian Campbell went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, and two runs scored for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Since the start of July, Campbell is now 29-for-84 (.345) with three home runs, 16 RBI, 20 runs, three steals, and a 24/17 K/BB ratio. Still just 24 years old, Campbell could very well emerge as an impactful regular with the Red Sox if his recent swing changes continue to produce results like this.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Carlos Rodón will have “at least one more Minor League rehab start before being activated.”

Rodón allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. His velocity was down across the board in this one, so he will need to make some progress if he wants his next rehab start to be his last one.
