Cincinnati Reds head coach Terry Francona has announced that starting pitcher Brady Singer will be sidelined due to a left lower lumbar strain. Singer, who was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in November 2024, was expected to bolster the Reds’ starting rotation. This injury is a setback for both Singer and the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Singer has a history of injuries, including a lumbar strain in September 2023 and shoulder issues in 2021. His performance has been notable; during his tenure with the Royals, he made his major league debut in 2020 and quickly established himself as a reliable starter. In his second career start, he allowed two runs and five hits over five innings.
The Reds’ upcoming schedule includes a game against the Los Angeles Angels today at 12:10 PM PST. With Singer’s absence, the team will need to adjust their pitching lineup accordingly.
