Forgotten Reds starter is suddenly making a case to replace Brady Singer

Brady Singer struggled badly in his recent start against the Dodgers, lasting just 3⅓ innings while allowing seven runs. Carson Spiers, a Reds pitcher recovering from Tommy John surgery, has shown significant improvement in his Triple-A rehab assignment with 21 strikeouts over his last three starts while allowing just two runs across 16 innings. Spiers, who is pre-arbitration eligible with remaining minor-league options, could provide an inexpensive rotation option for Cincinnati in 2027. Singer's performance has deteriorated sharply this season, posting an 8.48 ERA over his last eight games with opponents batting .330 against him.
