The Reds have put right-hander Chase Burns on the 15-day injured list with a strained right groin, taking one of their biggest arms out of the rotation for the moment.
A Break in a Breakout Season
Burns, 23, had earned his first All-Star selection during a strong season in Cincinnati’s rotation. He carries a 15-3 record and a 2.86 ERA into the injured-list stint.
- Player: Chase Burns
- Position: Right-handed pitcher
- Injury: Right groin strain
- Roster move: Placed on the 15-day injured list
- Season record: 15-3
- ERA: 2.86
- Honor: First career All-Star selection
Rotation Loses an All-Star Arm
The groin issue interrupts a season in which Burns had become a steady presence for the Reds, piling up wins while keeping opponents off the board. His absence leaves Cincinnati without a 23-year-old starter who had already established himself as an All-Star in his first such campaign.
No timetable beyond the 15-day injured-list designation was provided.
