Brandon Finnegan News
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Finnegan will join the Triple-A Louisville bullpen after failing to impress as a starting pitcher. Finnegan has a 7.40 ERA through five starts with the Reds this season. He was sent to the minors and the results have been about the same as they were with the Reds. Hopefully a transition to the bullpen can help Finnegan regain some momentum. Finnegan belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues.
The Cincinnati Reds optioned left-hander Brandon Finnegan to Triple-A Louisville on Friday in order to clear room to add newly-acquired right-hander Matt Harvey to the 25-man roster. Harvey will make his first start as a Red on Friday night as he gets set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Finnegan went 0-3 with a 7.40 ERA in five starts and has struggled mightily with his control this season. He will look to get his season back on track in the minors. Interim manager Jim Riggleman said that they want Finnegan to get 100% healthy, insinuating that he was not fully recuperated from a biceps strain suffered during the spring.
Cincinnati Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman told the media on Monday that left-hander Brandon Finnegan will make his next start in Los Angeles. Finnegan's hold on a spot in the starting rotation has become tenuous due to his poor pitching but he will at least get one more shot to prove he belongs. Finnegan missed the first part of April with a biceps strain and has posted an 8.27 ERA in five starts this season.
