Reds Limit Chase Burns' Workload | Cincinnati Reds News

Chase Burns is dominating this season with 15 wins, 3 losses, and a 2.79 ERA, already striking out 171 batters — way more than his entire rookie year. But starting Monday against the Dodgers, the Reds are shifting gears: limiting his innings to protect his arm for the long haul. After pitching 5⅓ innings in his last start, Burns will now be followed by Brandon Williamson, who’s back from injury. The exact pitch or inning count isn’t set yet — a new strategy for a pitcher who’s thrived with freedom so far. With a history against the Dodgers, Burns is ready, but this move signals the Reds are prioritizing durability over dominance.
