The Cincinnati Reds head over to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Tuesday afternoon to take on the Colorado Rockies, and they’ll do so with left-hander Brandon Williamson on the bump.
Williamson, who has allowed 2 ER in 4.o IP with 6 K and a lone walk so far this spring, has looked good with increased velocity so far in camp after missing all of the 2025 season following Tommy John surgery. He’s still firmly in the mix for a spot in the team’s Opening Day starting rotation now that Hunter Greene
will be out until July following his own elbow surgery, and Tuesday gives him yet another shot to prove he’s ready.
The Reds are rolling out a formidable lineup on the day, one that features Elly De La Cruz as well as Sal Stewart (playing 2B on the day), JJ Bleday (getting some interestingly timely run in RF), and TJ Friedl as the DH.
Hat-tip to Redleg Nation’s Doug Gray for relaying today’s travel roster.
You’ll notice that both Steele Hall and Tyson Lewis are included on today’s travel roster. You may also notice that Lewis is listed as a 3B, which is interesting given that he’s only ever played shortstop in his professional career to date (and, I believed, was considered a pretty solid defender there).
First pitch is set for 4:10 PM ET, though there is no televised feed today. You’ll need to seek out 700 WLW’s radio coverage to follow along.
