77-85 · 2024 4TH IN NL CENTRAL
A Cincinnati Reds pitcher-by-pitcher breakdown, their outlooks for 2023 season A look at all the pitchers on the Reds' 40-man roster, their contract status and expectations for the 2023 season.
Buck Farmer - Better second half Farmer finished the 2022 season with a 3.83 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, five holds and two saves over 47 innings, but he had a 2.83 ERA over 35 innings following his second call-up July 9, Bob...
Impact Farmer will be eligible for his third season of arbitration this offseason, which means that the Reds -- who are in austerity mode -- have to decide whether to tender him a contract. Typically a team in that position will opt to go cheap in the bullpen. He projects to make somewhere between $1.4-$1.85 million should he get tendered a contract.

Chuckie Robinson - Outrighted to Louisville Robinson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Robinson ended the season on the Reds' active roster but will have to fight to get back there by Opening Day. He didn't help his case in the first 25 game of his big-league career this season, hitting .136/.136/.271.

Ryan Hendrix - Clears waivers Hendrix cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Hendrix appeared in nine games this season, giving up five runs in 8.1 innings. He now owns a 5.85 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 40 innings at the highest level, so it's no surprise he didn't generate much interest on the waiver wire.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Raynel Espinal - Outrighted to Triple-A Espinal cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Espinal made the second and third appearances of his big-league career this season, allowing four runs in 4.2 innings of work. Given that he's already 31 years old and has made a minimal impact at the highest level, it's no surprise to see him pass through waivers unclaimed.

Elly De La Cruz - Showing star potential De La Cruz finished the 2022 season with a .304/.359/.586 line, 28 home runs, 47 steals (on 53 attempts) and a 40:158 BB:K over 120 games between High-A and Double-A.
Impact His average and OBP at the two levels were nearly identical, with only a marginal drop in slugging after the promotion. There's no doubt that De La Cruz can crush homers and run wild on the bases -- but his defense and plate discipline are question marks. While his hands and rocket arm generally get positive reviews, De La Cruz piled up 25 errors while mostly playing shortstop (and some third base) this season, suggesting that he still has a lot of work to do before he's ready to play the infield in the big leagues. His 30.8 percent strikeout rate won't cut it at higher levels (especially alongside a meager 7.8 percent walk rate), and while De La Cruz showed signs of improvement on that front at various points in the season, he ended up regressing to his mean every time. It all adds up to an exciting prospect who needs at least one more full year of seasoning in the minors before he's ready to step on the field in Cincinnati.

Graham Ashcraft - Lit up for seven runs Ashcraft (5-6) took the loss Wednesday, allowing seven runs on four hits and five walks over 5.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out four.
Impact After beginning the game with a 1-2-3 first inning, Ashcraft ran into trouble in the second, allowing three consecutive batters to reach base before giving up a three-run homer to David Bote. The right-hander mostly cruised through the next three innings before allowing four of the first five batters to reach base in the sixth and eventually being charged with four more runs. Ashcraft allowed four or more runs in each of his final three starts to go along with seven walks and seven strikeouts.

Jonathan India - Late scratch Wednesday India was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs due to a foot injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
