Bronson Arroyo Placed On 10-Day Disabled List Monday
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday, a day after admitting he had been receiving cortisone shots in his pitching shoulder since Spring Training. Arroyo has been hit hard this season, posting a 3-6 record, 7.35 ERA, and 2.92 home runs per nine innings. He gave some quotes after Sunday's game indicating he may be at the end of the line regarding his big league pitching career. The Reds also placed shortstop Zack Cozart on the DL, calling up outfielder Jesse Winker and right-handed pitcher Ariel Hernandez to take his and Arroyo's spots on the active roster. Starting pitchers Homer Bailey and Brandon Finnegan could both be back from the DL by the time Arroyo is eligible to return which further clouds Arroyo's status with the team going forward.
Bronson Arroyo Struggles Sunday; Has Been Receiving Cortisone Shots In Shoulder
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo's attempt at making a comeback after 2 1/2 injury-plagued years took another hit on Sunday. The veteran right-hander was hit hard by the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing five runs in three innings while striking out three. Arroyo also revealed after the game that he has been receiving cortisone shots in his right shoulder since Spring Training to help him manage his pain. Arroyo later went on to admit that he has thought about the fact that his time as a big league pitcher may be coming to an end. After the game, he was quoted as saying, "Have I thought `This time might be my last time on the field'? Yeah". With Homer Bailey and Brandon Finnegan both expected to rejoin the Reds rotation by the end of June, Arroyo probably won't be around much longer.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo struggled on the mound on Monday. He allowed the San Diego Padres to rack up nine runs on 13 hits in 4 2/3 innings of work. Arroyo has not been pitching well for the Reds this season, posting a 7.01 ERA and allowing 2.91 home runs per nine innings. With both starters Homer Bailey and Brandon Finnegan expected to rejoin the Cincinnati rotation by the end of June, Arroyo could be approaching the end of his run in the Reds starting rotation. For now, it appears Arroyo will make a few more starts, meaning daily players should be getting in line to stack opposing batters against him. The Los Angeles Dodgers will take their hacks against Arroyo in his next time out.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo turned in an effective outing against the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. Arroyo pitched six innings of two-run ball, striking out two and walking one. Arroyo was able to work around seven hits, including a Dansby Swanson homer in the fifth inning. Arroyo has really struggled to keep the ball in the park this season, so allowing just one homer in a start is a step forward for the veteran. Arroyo now has a 6.24 ERA on the season and can be avoided in fantasy in most mixed formats. He is set to take on the St. Louis Cardinals in his next start.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo took a no-decision on Saturday, as he allowed the Philadelphia Phillies to score three runs in five innings of work. Arroyo struck out four and walked one while allowing three home runs. While the start was just an inning shy of being considered a quality start, Arroyo continued a concerning trend of not being able to keep the ball in the park when he pitches. Arroyo overall is allowing 3.14 home runs per nine innings and has now allowed 11 over his past four starts. He remains in the starting rotation for now, but his grip could be loosening with every long ball he serves up. He's slated to take on the Atlanta Braves in his next start, which comes at hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark. That makes the Braves an enticing stacking option in daily fantasy leagues.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo struggled against the Colorado Rockies hitters on Sunday, allowing six runs in 5 1/3 innings of work. Arroyo served up nine hits, four of which were home runs, and walked two while striking out four. The veteran right-hander had a decent stretch in late April and early May, but the wheels are starting to come off of late. He has been clobbered in his last two starts, allowing 11 earned runs and six homers. Cincinnati is still dealing with several injured starting pitchers, but Arroyo could be the first to lose his job once they start to get healthy. He is slated to face off against the Philadelphia Phillies in his next start.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo turned in another solid outing for the Reds on Thursday. The veteran right-hander held San Francisco to two runs in six innings of work, striking out three and walking one. He ended up taking a no-decision in the outing but was able to drop his ERA to 5.94 on the year. Before landing in the Reds' rotation this season, Arroyo hadn't pitched in the majors since the 2014 season. He has turned in a few poor outings, but he has been mostly solid for the Reds, racking up two quality starts in his last four outings. Arroyo is working his way into the streamer conversation in deeper, NL-only leagues. He is set to face the Cubs in his next start.
