Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle hears that the San Francisco Giants may have interest in free-agent pitcher Scott Feldman on a minor league deal. Feldman, 34, went 7-7 with a 4.77 ERA in 21 starts this past season for the Reds before undergoing season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Feldman has a career 4.43 ERA in his 13-year career.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Scott Feldman had season-ending knee surgery on Tuesday. The veteran right-hander had been dealing with a knee issue for most of the season but he finally got to the point where he wasn't able to pitch through the ailment any longer. Feldman was one of the Reds' more consistent pitchers this season, posting a 7-7 record, 4.77 ERA, and 93 strikeouts in 111 1/3 innings of work. He is set to become a free agent this offseason.
Scott Schebler Activated From DL, Scott Feldman Lands On DL
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list Friday. In a corresponding move, starting pitcher Scott Feldman was put on the 10-day DL due to a nagging right knee inflammation that continues to bother him. Schebler got off to a scorching-hot start this year and does have 23 long balls on the season, but his .228/.304/.473 slash line leaves a lot to be desired for fantasy owners. The Reds figure to platoon him in right field with young outfielders Jesse Winker and Phillip Ervin, making Schebler only attractive to those in deep mixed and NL leagues for his pop. At this point in a lost season, there's no guarantee Feldman will make it back for the rest of the year. His unattractive 4.77 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 7.5 K/9 weren't very attractive for fantasy owners anyway. His absence could mean a return to the rotation for Tim Adleman.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Scott Feldman has been dealing with a knee injury all season but it has become markedly worse over the past few weeks. The veteran right-hander landed on the disabled list in late July in hopes that rest would help alleviate the issue but the injury has continued to dog him since his return. In his start against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, the right-hander had trouble covering first base on a grounder to Joey Votto and saw his fastball sit at just 82 MPH. He was hit hard by Chicago, allowing six runs in four innings. Feldman told reporters after the game, "If it doesn't get any better, I don't think I can pitch like that anymore. We'll see." A return trip to the DL appears to be the most likely scenario at this point and there's a chance he doesn't pitch again this season.
Scott Feldman Lasts Four Innings In Return From DL
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Scott Feldman made his return to the starting rotation after missing just under a month with a sore knee. The veteran pitcher lasted just four innings against the Milwaukee Brewers, allowing three runs while striking out six. Feldman's return should give some stability to the Reds' starting rotation, which has struggled in that department this season. On the year, Feldman has a 7-7 record, 4.43 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 92 strikeouts. He's nothing more than a streamer in deep leagues at this point in his career.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Scott Feldman has a chance to be activated from the disabled list on Saturday. Feldman has been sidelined since July 18 with inflammation in his right knee. Feldman threw a bullpen session on Wednesday, with the team watching how well he's able to move on the injured knee. Feldman will be evaluated by the team medical staff on Thursday to see how well his leg responded to the workout on Wednesday. If the team decides that Feldman needs more time, then Tim Adleman will take his turn in the rotation against the Milwaukee Brewers Saturday. Feldman has a 7-7 record, 4.34 ERA, and 86 strikeouts in 19 starts this season.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Scott Feldman (knee) is aiming to rejoin the Reds' rotation on Saturday against the Brewers. Feldman started a throwing program last week and it appears he will return without going on a rehab assignment first.

Feldman has posted a 7-7 record, 4.34 ERA, and 86 strikeouts in his first season with the Reds.

Scott Feldman To DL, Jesse Winker Optioned To Make Room For Sal Romano
The Cincinnati Reds made several roster moves ahead of their Tuesday game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Right-hander Scott Feldman was placed on the 10-day disabled list after coming down with knee soreness during his start on Monday. Jesse Winker was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Tuesday's starter, right-hander Sal Romano. Winker, regarded as one of the Reds' top hitting prospects, was mostly used as just a pinch hitter during his most recent tour of duty with the big league club. He is blocked by starting outfielders Billy Hamilton, Scott Schebler, and Adam Duvall at the major league level. Sal Romano will make his third start of the year for the Reds on Tuesday. He has a 1-1 record, 4.50 ERA, and eight strikeouts in eight innings of work.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Scott Feldman came down with a sore right knee during his start against the Washington Nationals on Monday afternoon. The knee soreness is likely what limited Feldman to just one inning in his start, which saw him battered for five runs on five hits. According to reports, Feldman is likely ticketed for a trip to the 10-day disabled list. Feldman has been Cincinnati's most consistent pitcher this season, posting a 7-7 record, 4.34 ERA, and 86 strikeouts. For now, it's unclear who will take his spot in the starting rotation if he does indeed land on the DL.
