David Bell said Lucas Sims (back) and Luke Weaver (forearm) will most likely begin the year on the IL.

They're both throwing bullpens today and ramping up, but it's a timing issue.

NIck Senzel will make his 2023 Cactus League debut tonight, David Bell said.

He'll likely stay in AZ after the team leaves and then head to Louisville, where he'll play CF, 3B and maybe even 2B

all these injured list guys makes it easier to predict the roster obviously but it seems weird to kinda have a roster crunch for a team this potentially bad

funny...when opposing players talk about these young pitchers Ashcraft is always the one they mention not liking to face

I’m prepared for a reality where Graham Ashcraft is the Reds ace and Hunter Greene struggles to be a mid rotation starter.

Final Score

[Ron Madden]

From Nightengale

There's a mistake somewhere Hunter Greene also pitched 6 innings his last time out.



Hunter Greene was bumped to a minor league spring training game Sunday because Luis Cessa returned early from the World Baseball Classic and it would’ve been understandable if he wasn’t at his sharpest.

Despite all that, Greene performed well.

Facing the Milwaukee Brewers’ Triple-A team, Greene completed six scoreless innings, He gave up four hits and two walks, both walks coming in the first inning.

“Today was all about the mentality,” said Greene, who finished around 85 pitches and threw a few more pitches in the bullpen afterward.

Great pitching overall!

I don't know that we got the Padres' A lineup but yeah, that pitching was a thing of beauty

I’m prepared for a reality where Graham Ashcraft is the Reds ace and Hunter Greene struggles to be a mid rotation starter.

Votto still bangs.

I like the reality of knowing Lodolo, Green, and Ashcraft can be really good for the foreseeable future.

Ashcraft definitely has improved over the winter.
