Singer dodges injury scare amid Reds pitching woes
13 May
Summary
- Singer took a 106.7 mph line drive to the foot but remained in the game.
- Several Reds pitchers are currently on the injured list with shoulder issues.
- Pitching depth is a concern for the Reds as they navigate injuries.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brady Singer faced an injury scare during a recent game against the Washington Nationals. In the second inning, a hard-hit line drive measured at 106.7 mph struck Singer's right foot. Despite falling to the ground, he remained in the game after a check from the athletic trainer and manager.
This incident underscores the Cincinnati Reds' significant pitching injury concerns. The team's pitching staff is already depleted, with several pitchers on the injured list. Nick Lodolo recently returned from a finger blister issue, while Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson are sidelined with shoulder discomfort and fatigue, respectively. Hunter Greene is also recovering from shoulder surgery and is not expected back until mid-to-late July.
Further complicating the situation, Chase Petty, a potential starting option, left his recent Triple-A start early due to a finger blister. The Reds are navigating these pitching challenges as they head into upcoming series against the Nationals and Cleveland Guardians, with their starting rotation currently relying on Singer, Lodolo, and Chase Burns.
