You skip with the off day Thursday, and you'll need him against the Cards on Tuesday. So, he won't be skipped unless they know Cingrani can pitch for sure on Tuesday.

From a selfish standpoint, please? We only get to see the Reds 3-4 games a year when they come to Denver. Reynolds doesn't get us excited to spend $100 on tix :(
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Arroyo, Reynolds and Leake in Denver is a frightening thought. But mainly because of Arroyo and Leake in the thin air. REDS are going to need to bring the bats.
Then it would be Latos Bailey and Arroyo vs. the Cards at GABP. Much better.
I wouldn't skip anybody.

Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Actually Arroyo's career numbers on three days rest says he pitches BETTER with short rest. Don't skip him. Move him up. You have Arroyo backward - he works worse on long rest. Saw that metric somewhere last year. Bronson is just a strange athlete all around.
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Pitch him. The extra day for starters this time of year is a good thing.
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Baker and Price don't have a history of manipulating a rotation based on the opponent.
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
I would slot Reynolds for Sunday if Cingrani can't go. Or we can keep playing with 24 guys while chasing two teams and watch Reynolds fill in against the birds and get lit up like Cousin Eddie in CMas Vacation which wouldn't be a good thing.
This would require deep planning and someone making a call on Cingrani to the 15-day by Sat morning so I am sure it can't possibly be done.
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Skip Reynolds and pray Cingrani is better in time for the Cards.
If Cingrani is not healthy by the time his planned start vs the Cards comes up, we're in trouble anyhow.
It's in our best interest to minimize the number of starts Reynolds gets.

...Against the Cardinals or Pirates
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Any recent news on Cingrani? I know he threw some last week but haven't heard if he will make a start against the Cards.

John "never wrong" Fay gave a solid yes, when someone asked if he'd be back vs STL.
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Chris Welsh said that Cingranni had told over the weekend him that Tony's back felt great in Denver. I guess they have to see how he feels after a bullpen session if one is scheduled before proposed next start (Thursday??)
Re: Cingrani leaves in 4th with back injury
Fay says that Cingrani will start on Thursday, with Reynolds there if needed.
