The Cincinnati Reds opened the 2026 season with a 3-0 loss to Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Reds starter Andrew Abbott matched Crochet's six scoreless innings, even if he did it in a different way. Sal Stewart had three hits, but the downside was the team as a hole had just four hits (Elly De La Cruz had the other). C. Trent Rosecrans of the Athletic and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss the game, the pitchers and how ABS changed the game.

The Reds left Arizona on Sunday, but couldn't get out of Arizona without another injury, this one is a blister on the finger of Nick Lodolo. What does that mean for the Reds? It's to be determined, but the team was planning to start the season with six starters for five spots, so maybe it's five for five now. The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves look back at spring training ahead of Opening Day.

Danny also has advice on how to avoid blisters... IYKYK

Also, the entire world now knows what we know — Eugenio Suárez is an international treasure. The Reds' DH had the biggest hit in Venezuelan baseball history and because it was Geno, everyone was happy for him and his country.

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene will have surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow and is expected to return to Cincinnati in July. How much does Greene’s absence hurt the Reds in their playoff hopes? The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves break down just how much this hurts the Reds and how the rotation pans out without Greene.

Also, Eugenio Suárez and Edwin Arroyo are playing in the World Baseball Classic on Fox Sports One. Geno’s doing Geno things, but Arroyo’s hardly seen the field. Was Arroyo leaving camp for the WBC a mistake? And finally, Danny comes out of the bullpen to put out the fire that has been closer Emilio Pagán’s sluggish start in spring training.

Riverfront Territory’s positional preview of the 2026 Cincinnati Reds concludes with the outfield. TJ Friedl will be in center most days and Noelvi Marte figures to play right field most days. Who is in left and who else makes the team? The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss.

With a backup catcher automatically on the roster, the Reds have three remaining bench spots left. In camp are outfielders Will Benson, JJ Bleday, Dane Myers, Tyler Callahan, Hector Rodríguez, Blake Dunn and Rese Hinds. All seven of those players have options.

And are the Reds too right-handed?

Riverfront Territory’s positional preview of the 2026 Cincinnati Reds continues with a look at third base and Ke'Bryan Hayes, whom the Reds acquired at the trade deadline last year after missing out on Eugenio Suárez. Now both are with the Reds and how exactly will that work? The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss.

Ke'Bryan Hayes won a Gold Glove in 2025, his second, but his bat was made of, not gold or silver, but wood. Does Hayes' slick fielding make up for a bat that has never lived up to the promise he had as a rookie in Pittsburgh?

Also, how much does Hayes' presence help the team's defense overall.
