Burns Rested, Williamson Returns | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds are dialing back Chase Burns’ workload for the rest of the season after he’s already thrown over 145 innings and hit 100 pitches in a single game — a milestone that also marks him as the first pitcher on the team to win 15 games since 2019. With Brandon Williamson set to return from shoulder issues and start against the Padres on Sept. 2, he’ll slot behind Burns in the rotation. Manager Terry Francona emphasized they’re still focused on winning while carefully managing Burns’ arm, pulling him when needed without revealing specific pitch or inning limits. It’s a strategic move to protect a breakout young ace as the team races toward the playoffs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
