Reds optioned RHP Randy Wynne to Triple-A Louisville.
Making his second big-league appearance, the 32-year-old Wynne got a save for finishing up Sunday’s 24-2 game against the Royals. He’ll stay on the 40-man for now, but he’ll probably be DFA’d next time the Reds need a spot.
Jalen Brunson struggled on Wednesday and finished with 17 points (6-of-19 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two three-pointers in Game 2 against the Celtics.
It was a rough night overall for Brunson, but he still came up big when the game mattered most. He scored the final six points for the Knicks, which included the bucket that finally gave them the lead. The series will now shift to New York with the Knicks leading 2-0. Brunson’s subpar night didn’t cost them on Wednesday, but he’ll need to be much better in Game 3 if they want to defend homecourt on Saturday.
Miguel Vargas hit two doubles in a loss Wednesday to the Royals.
Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run homer to lead the Royals to a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
Carlos Estévez allowed a run but still got a save Wednesday against the Royals.
Jonathan Cannon allowed nine hits over six six innings while allowing two runs Wednesday in a loss to the Royals.
Cannon only struck out one batter, but he was a Bobby Witt Jr. homer away from exiting the start unscatched. He has given up nine hits in back-to-back starts and still has been able to give up just four runs in those outings. Cannon has also been able to get deep into games with four consecutive outings of at least six innings, and he’ll look to make it five straight next week against the Reds.
Michael Wacha allowed just three hits while firing seven scoreless innings to get a win over the White Sox on Wednesday in a 2-1 for the Royals.
Just one of the three hits that Wacha allowed went for extra bases. The right-hander worked seven innings for the first time in 2025, but it makes back-to-back outings he was able to pitch into that frame. It also makes the second time in three outings that Wacha hasn’t allowed a run, and his ERA lowered to 2.98 in the process. He’ll get the Astros next week.
