Brady Singer Fantasy Stats

The Cincinnati Reds have listed right-hander Brady Singer (foot) as their probable starter for Sunday's series finale against the hosting Cleveland Guardians, according to MLB.com. Singer has bounced back nicely after getting hit by a comebacker in his latest start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals, when he allowed three earned runs on three solo home runs (six total hits) while walking one and striking out only two in 3 2/3 innings of work. While he appears to be good to take the mound this weekend, fantasy managers should be avoiding the former University of Florida product everywhere. The 29-year-old has given up 11 earned runs on 19 hits (six homers) while walking four and striking out nine in 13 innings in his last three starts for Cincy. Singer lacks strikeout upside, and although the first-place Guardians rank only 22nd in baseball in OPS (.687), he'll make for too risky a fantasy streamer in that matchup on Sunday. He's only rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues at the moment.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer (foot) came out of Tuesday night's 107 mph comebacker off his right foot better than expected, and the Reds are hopeful that he will make his next start, according to Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati. The 29-year-old former 18th overall pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2018 out of the University of Florida only lasted 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night, allowing three earned runs on six hits (three homers) while walking one and striking out two. If Singer is still feeling fine going into the weekend, we would recommend staying away from him in DFS in a matchup against the first-place Cleveland Guardians. Singer hasn't had more than six strikeouts in any of his nine starts on the year and is currently sporting a 5.79 ERA (6.19 FIP) and 1.67 WHIP with only 28 strikeouts and 11 walks across 42 innings pitched for the Reds. His 6.0 K/9 mark is currently the lowest in his seventh year in the big leagues.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer (finger) says the blister on his index finger is back to normal and said he's "right back on regular schedule," according to Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer. FOX 19's Charlie Goldsmith reports that Singer will pitch in an exhibition game on Monday in Milwaukee against the Brewers. The Reds pulled Singer early from his Cactus League game on Wednesday due to the blister, but there's nothing to worry about heading into the start of the 2026 regular season next week. In his first season in Cincy in 2025, Singer went 14-12 with a 4.03 ERA (3.98 FIP) and 1.24 WHIP with a 163:60 K:BB in 169 2/3 innings over 32 starts. Not only does Singer, who is a ground-ball pitcher, pitch in a pretty hitter-friendly environment, but he doesn't have a ton of strikeout upside with a 22.1% strikeout rate in his six big-league seasons. Singer is best used to round out starting rotations in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues with more of a stable floor as a late-round flier.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brady Singer (finger) exited early during Wednesday's Cactus League outing versus the Colorado Rockies. Singer threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts before a blister forced him to exit the game. Afterwards, Singer said that he didn't want to make the issue worse, so he left out of precaution. He continued by saying, the blister is almost gone, and he'll be ready for his next start. The 29-year-old sounds confident that this blister won't force him to miss any action. His first start of the regular season won't come until March 29, so he should be ready by then. Last season, Singer posted a 4.03 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 163:60 K/BB ratio across 32 starts. He's pitching his home games in hitter-friendly Cincinnati, which won't help his fantasy value. Singer is more of a deep league option to start the season.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer (finger) left his Cactus League outing on Wednesday with a blister, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Before being pulled, Singer threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings against the Colorado Rockies with two hits allowed, a walk, and three strikeouts. It's unclear if the 29-year-old's blister injury will prevent him from making his first start of the 2026 regular season, which is scheduled to come on March 29 against the Boston Red Sox. In his first full year in Cincy after being acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Royals, the former 18th overall pick from Florida in 2018 went 14-12 with a 4.03 ERA (3.98 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, and 163:60 K:BB in 169 2/3 innings over 32 starts. Singer pitches in a very hitter-friendly home ballpark and has a modest 22.1% strikeout rate in his six big-league seasons, so he relies heavily on his sinker to keep the ball out of the air. In shallow mixed leagues, fantasy managers should be able to find better upside pitching targets late in drafts.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer had a tough time at the office in his Cactus League debut on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs, allowing five earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out one in two innings of work. Singer threw 46 pitches in the outing but was able to generate just one swing and miss. The 29-year-old is heading into his second year in Cincy after going 14-12 with a 4.03 ERA (3.98 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, and 163:60 K:BB in 169 2/3 innings over 32 starts in 2025. He should once again be a valuable back-end starter for the Reds in 2026, although he's tougher to get behind in fantasy in one of the more hitter-friendly ballparks in the big leagues. The key to Singer's success is his sinker, which he will need to keep the ball out of the air in Cincy. His career 22.1% strikeout rate doesn't give him much fantasy upside either, which is why he's ranked just inside the top 100 starting pitchers at RotoBaller.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brady Singer (4-0) was stellar on Wednesday, tossing six innings of two-run ball in a 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins. Singer allowed four hits, walked none, and struck out eight, picking up his fourth win of the season. Overall, he now owns a 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts in 27 IP. Although it was a good outing, it should be noted that the Marlins have already made many pitchers look like studs this season. The 28-year-old is a solid option in fantasy leagues and should be rostered, but isn't a must-start and should be a matchup-dependent play in standard-sized leagues. Singer will look to improve to (5-0) in his next scheduled start on Tuesday, at home against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer threw a gem in a 14-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday. Singer tossed seven shutout innings while allowing just one hit, striking out eight, and walking two. It was exactly the type of debut Singer could have hoped for in his first start for the Reds after he was traded from the Kansas City Royals in the offseason. Singer turned in his best season in the big leagues in 2024, posting a 9-13 record, 3.71 ERA, and 170 strikeouts over 179 2/3 innings of work and is looking to keep it going as he is off to a fast start in the 2025 season. Singer is slated to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road on Saturday in his next start.

The Kansas City Royals are trading right-handed pitcher Brady Singer to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for second baseman Jonathan India, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The 28-year-old spent each of his first five professional seasons with the Kansas City Royals and held an overall 4.28 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP across 685 1/3 innings of work. Last summer, the former first-round pick held a 3.71 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 179 2/3 innings. Singer generated a solid 48.3% ground-ball rate but struggled to limit hard contact as he held a 41.7% hard-hit rate and an 8.0% barrel rate, both below the average marks. Fantasy managers should expect Singer to have a spot in the rotation to begin the season and be viewed as a depth starting pitching option in deeper formats.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is one of several hitters that the Kansas City Royals are targeting in a trade, according to sources briefed on the team's talks. On the flip side, right-hander Brady Singer is drawing interest from the Reds and other clubs that are looking to bolster their starting rotations. India and Singer were both first-round picks out of Florida back in 2018. A trade is not imminent, though, and the Royals are also discussing the idea of trading left-hander Kris Bubic or righty Alec Marsh for a young hitter. The 28-year-old Singer is more attractive because he's coming off a career season and is under team control for two more years. Both India and Singer will be eligible for salary arbitration a final time in 2026. Landing India would solve KC's second base woes after they tried five different players at the keystone in 2024.
