  • Ian Gibaut’s (forearm) return from IL delayed
    Reds RHP Ian Gibaut (forearm) continues to have discomfort and his return has been pushed back.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day, but the right-handed reliever will now be sidelined for longer than expected. Everything seemed like it was heading in the right direction for Gibaut, so this setback is disappointing to here. We’ll have to wait and see how the team wants to designate him moving forward.

  • Spins seven scoreless innings
    Webb (2-1) picked up the win Thursday, allowing two hits and one walk with five strikeouts over seven scoreless innings against Arizona.

    Advice: Webb was exceptional Thursday, making it through seven innings for a third straight start. The two hits Webb allowed came on the first two batters he faced Thursday, but he managed to retire the next 19 batters he faced after the pair of hits. Webb has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his five appearances this season, boasting a 2.93 ERA across 30.2 innings pitched. He's tentatively scheduled for a matchup with the Mets on Tuesday.

  • Replaces injured starter
    Allen (0-1) was tagged with Thursday's loss, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 relief innings against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen, who had his contract selected Wednesday and was set to serve as Arizona's long reliever, was needed immediately. The left-hander entered the third inning in place of starter Ryne Nelson, who had taken a liner off his elbow during the final out of the second inning. Allen allowed all three hits and the lone run in that first inning of work. He then settled in, utilizing a changeup that's been effective for him at Triple Reno according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and gave Arizona a chance when he departed with two outs in the seventh and the Giants leading, 1-0. Nelson may have avoided serious injury -- X-rays came back negative -- but the club will see how he responds Friday before making any decisions. If he's unable to make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday, Allen is a sensible option as a fill-in starter. Rotowire.com Today, 5:39 am
     
  • Set to throw from flat ground
    Cobb (hip) had a clean MRI on his shoulder and will throw from flat ground Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Cobb has dealt with both elbow and shoulder pain while working his way back from hip surgery. However, he's now set to resume throwing for the first time since April 1. Given his inability to ramp up consistently, Cobb will likely need several weeks before he's ready to return to a big-league mound. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 pm

  • Logan Allen bails out Arizona with 4 2/3 frames in relief
    Logan Allen allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings on Thursday in relief against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen saved Arizona’s bullpen with nearly five frames at Oracle Park following starter Ryne Nelson’s early exit from the contest after just two frames due to a right elbow contusion. He struck out three and only issued one walk. It was his first appearance in the majors since May 15, 2022. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:57 pm
     
  • Logan Webb makes swift work of D-backs in win
    Logan Webb fired seven shutout innings on Thursday in a win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Webb retired a career-high 19 consecutive batters following back-to-back singles from Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll, respectively, to open the contest before issuing a one-out walk to Christian Walker in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old workhorse, who finished with five strikeouts and only issued one walk, completed seven frames for the third consecutive start in this one. He’ll bring a sparkling 2.93 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 22/6 K/BB ratio across 30 2/3 innings (five starts) into another home outing on Tuesday against the Mets. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:57 pm
     
  • Dealing with bruised elbow
    Nelson exited Thursday's start against the Giants due to a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: Nelson took a comebacker to his arm while recording the final out of the second inning and was forced to exit the game. It appears that he's avoided a fracture or other more serious injury, so it remains possible that he's available for his next turn through the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 pm
     
  • Early exit
    Nelson was forced to leave Thursday's start against the Giants after taking a comebacker to his right wrist in the second inning, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Nelson worked two scoreless innings while allowing two hits before exiting. The nature of the injury is currently unclear, though he'll likely undergo an MRI or X-ray to determine the severity of the damage. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:29 pm
