The Cincinnati Reds have placed right‑hander Chase Burns on the 15‑day injured list after he was diagnosed with a right groin strain. The move removes the 23‑year‑old pitcher from the active roster while he recovers.
Burns, a first‑time All‑Star this season, has been a key contributor for Cincinnati, posting a 15‑3 win–loss record and a 2.86 earned run average (ERA) in his appearances before the injury.
His absence creates a gap in the Reds’ starting rotation, prompting the club to look to other arms on the staff or call up a prospect to fill the spot until Burns is cleared to return.
Burns’ strong performance has helped the Reds stay competitive in the National League Central, and his ability to limit runs has been a highlight of the team’s pitching staff this year.
Under the terms of the 15‑day IL, Burns will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after the designated period, provided his groin strain heals as expected.
