Chase Burns and Sal Stewart, both former early picks, contributed to the Reds' recent victory over the Cubs, with Burns earning his 15th win and Stewart hitting his third consecutive home run. Among prospects still in the minor leagues, Lebron is performing well at High-A with a .288 average and power display, while Hall shows promise despite struggling in the Florida State League. Other prospects like Floyd have battled injuries, Collier is hitting just .214 at Double-A, and Hendrick has struggled after an initial hot start, while Nelson has left the organization entirely.","date_published":"2026-08-31T18:13:46.000Z","tags":["Red Reporter"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/reds-news-cardinals-dump-trade-pickup-carson-spiers-comeback-former-to-271e1d9d","url":"https://blogredmachine.com/reds-news-cardinals-dump-trade-pickup-carson-spiers-comeback-former-top-pick-released","external_url":"https://blogredmachine.com/reds-news-cardinals-dump-trade-pickup-carson-spiers-comeback-former-top-pick-released","title":"Reds News: Cardinals dump trade pickup, Carson Spiers' comeback, former top pick released","content_text":"Read this story at Blog Red Machine.","date_published":"2026-08-31T18:10:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Drew Koch"}],"tags":["Blog Red Machine"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/reds-news-cardinals-dump-trade-pickup-carson-spiers-comeback-former-to-af40ebf4","url":"https://blogredmachine.com/reds-news-cardinals-dump-trade-pickup-carson-spiers-comeback-former-top-pick-released","external_url":"https://blogredmachine.com/reds-news-cardinals-dump-trade-pickup-carson-spiers-comeback-former-top-pick-released","title":"Reds News: Cardinals dump trade pickup, Carson Spiers' comeback, former top pick released","content_text":"The Reds traded left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson to the St. Louis Cardinals at the deadline in exchange for a 19-year-old pitching prospect and $250,000 in international bonus pool money, but Ferguson struggled significantly with his new team, posting an 8.64 ERA over nine appearances before being released.

The article identifies five prospects unlikely to be promoted this September but potentially impactful in 2027, including pitcher Alfredo Duno, who may debut late in 2027 to preserve his rookie eligibility for 2028 and help the team gain an extra draft pick. Outfielder Carlos Jorge, a 22-year-old with 31 stolen bases at Double-A, could become a left-handed platoon option in center field next season. First-round pick Cam Collier has struggled at Double-A Chattanooga with a .211 average following a spring 2025 hamate injury, leaving the Reds uncertain whether to add him to the 40-man roster this offseason.","date_published":"2026-08-30T10:08:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Drew Koch"}],"tags":["Blog Red Machine"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/stewart-in-rare-reds-company-with-30-homer-100-rbi-rookie-campaign-04882b8a","url":"https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/sal-stewart-hits-30th-homer-in-reds-game-vs-cubs","external_url":"https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/sal-stewart-hits-30th-homer-in-reds-game-vs-cubs","title":"Stewart in rare Reds company with 30-homer, 100-RBI rookie campaign","content_text":"Read this story at MLB.com Reds.","date_published":"2026-08-29T22:20:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Mark Sheldon"}],"tags":["MLB.com Reds"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/reds-postcast-pete-crow-armstrong-demolishes-the-cincinnati-reds-sal-s-fc60928a","url":"https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-reds/","external_url":"https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-reds/","title":"REDS POSTCAST: Pete Crow-Armstrong DEMOLISHES the Cincinnati Reds, Sal Stewart Extends Rookie Run","content_text":"Read this story at Locked On Reds.","date_published":"2026-08-29T21:55:53.000Z","authors":[{"name":"lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network)"}],"tags":["Locked On Reds"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/chicago-hit-six-home-runs-as-the-cubs-clobber-the-reds-17-5-520f4925","url":"https://www.redlegnation.com/2026/08/29/chicago-hit-six-home-runs-as-the-cubs-clobber-the-cincinnati-reds-17-5/","external_url":"https://www.redlegnation.com/2026/08/29/chicago-hit-six-home-runs-as-the-cubs-clobber-the-cincinnati-reds-17-5/","title":"Chicago hit six home runs as the Cubs clobber the Reds 17-5","content_text":"Read this story at Redleg Nation.","date_published":"2026-08-29T21:16:52.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Doug Gray"}],"tags":["Redleg Nation"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/sal-stewart-launches-his-30th-homer-of-the-2026-season-09247f67","url":"https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-analysis/52224/sal-stewart-rookie-of-the-year-30-home-runs-100-rbi","external_url":"https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-analysis/52224/sal-stewart-rookie-of-the-year-30-home-runs-100-rbi","title":"Sal Stewart launches his 30th homer of the 2026 season","content_text":"Read this story at Red Reporter.","date_published":"2026-08-29T21:13:33.000Z","tags":["Red Reporter"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/sal-stewart-launches-his-30th-homer-of-the-2026-season-d9cd890a","url":"https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-analysis/52224/sal-stewart-rookie-of-the-year-30-home-runs-100-rbi","external_url":"https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-analysis/52224/sal-stewart-rookie-of-the-year-30-home-runs-100-rbi","title":"Sal Stewart launches his 30th homer of the 2026 season","content_text":"Sal Stewart hit his 30th home run of the season on Saturday at Wrigley Field, a 431-foot blast that also gave him 100 RBIs for the year.

The Cincinnati Reds have followed suit, improving from one of the worst teams against lefties in 2025 to seventh in the majors with a .732 OPS and a 10.9% walk rate. De La Cruz has recorded 139 plate appearances against southpaws this season compared to 210 last year, partly due to injury, and his expected statistics suggest some luck may be involved in his success. Manager Terry Francona has supported De La Cruz's development as a switch-hitter, and the infielder has been vocal about his commitment to improving from the right side.","date_published":"2026-08-29T21:06:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Abigail Miskowiec"}],"tags":["Blog Red Machine"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/reds-rookie-sal-stewart-joins-elite-company-with-his-30th-home-run-0ec052b2","url":"https://www.redlegnation.com/2026/08/29/cincinnati-reds-rookie-sal-stewart-joins-elite-company-with-his-30th-home-run/","external_url":"https://www.redlegnation.com/2026/08/29/cincinnati-reds-rookie-sal-stewart-joins-elite-company-with-his-30th-home-run/","title":"Reds rookie Sal Stewart joins elite company with his 30th home run","content_text":"Read this story at Redleg Nation.","date_published":"2026-08-29T19:29:14.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Doug Gray"}],"tags":["Redleg Nation"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/latest-reds-injuries-transactions-ed50817e","url":"https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/reds-injuries-and-roster-moves","external_url":"https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/reds-injuries-and-roster-moves","title":"Latest Reds injuries & transactions","content_text":"Read this story at MLB.com Reds.","date_published":"2026-08-29T18:50:00.000Z","tags":["MLB.com Reds"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/cincinnati-reds-vs-chicago-cubs-8211-august-29-2026-ba9dd314","url":"https://www.redlegnation.com/2026/08/29/cincinnati-reds-vs-chicago-cubs-august-29-2026/","external_url":"https://www.redlegnation.com/2026/08/29/cincinnati-reds-vs-chicago-cubs-august-29-2026/","title":"Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs – August 29, 2026","content_text":"Read this story at Redleg Nation.","date_published":"2026-08-29T17:20:14.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Doug Gray"}],"tags":["Redleg Nation"]},{"id":"https://redsfeed.com/article/hector-rodriguez-back-at-leadoff-as-reds-look-to-take-series-from-cubs-a09c9550","url":"https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-game-information/52219/hector-rodriguez-chicago-cubs-leadoff","external_url":"https://www.redreporter.com/cincinnati-reds-game-information/52219/hector-rodriguez-chicago-cubs-leadoff","title":"Hector Rodriguez back at leadoff as Reds look to take series from Cubs","content_text":"The Reds defeated the Cubs 10-8 on Friday behind home runs from Tyler Stephenson, Sal Stewart, Jose Trevino, and TJ Friedl.
