The #Reds announce that Christian Encarnacion-Strand will have surgery on his right hand on July 11th.

The recovery time is 3 months, which makes it unlikely we will see CES play again this season.

Nick Lodolo was placed on the IL for a third time this season, this time for a blister injury. Lodolo is 8-3 with a 2.96 ERA

Reds will be calling up hard throwing Yosver Zulueta from AAA-Louisville for his big league debut. Zulueta has only allowed 1 ER over his last 11 games (0.53 ERA) and has 22 K in 17.1 IP.

Zulueta has 86 pitches of 98+MPH in this season. He was the Blue Jays #3 prospect in 2023.
