He turned in 76 strikeouts and 40 walks in those 98 innings and logged four pitcher wins in the process. Cincinnati's current rotation options include Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Graham Ashcraft, Justin Dunn, and Luis Cessa.

Fri Sep 23 202214:44Mike Minor Lands On Injured List
The Cincinnati Reds placed left-hander Mike Minor (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with left shoulder soreness and reinstated right-hander Connor Overton (back) from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. The team also sent catcher Aramis Ramirez (finger) on a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville and moved outfielder Nick Senzel (toe) to the 60-day IL. Minor was originally scheduled to start on Friday against the Brewers, but instead he'll likely miss the rest of the season. The 34-year-old had a rough season in his first year in Cincy, going 4-12 with a bloated 6.06 ERA (6.18 FIP), a 1.63 WHIP and a 76:40 K:BB in 98 innings over his 19 starts.

Fri Jun 3 202214:33Mike Minor Reinstated And Starting Friday
The Cincinnati Reds reinstated left-hander Mike Minor (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder TJ Friedl to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Minor will make his season debut on Friday against the Washington Nationals. The 34-year-old southpaw injured his shoulder in spring training and had a setback on his rehab assignment in April, so he has yet to pitch in the big leagues in 2022. In his five rehab starts in the minors, Minor had an ugly 6.11 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 17 2/3 innings pitched. The good news for fantasy managers in deeper leagues that are considering picking Minor up is that he shouldn't face any innings restrictions in his first start of the year for the Reds.

Sun May 29 202211:11Mike Minor To Return To Rotation On Friday
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) will return to the team's starting rotation and will make his season debut on Friday against the Washington Nationals. Minor has been on the injured list all season so far after he dealt with a shoulder injury in spring training and suffered a setback when he started a minor league rehab assignment in April. The 34-year-old left-hander had a 6.11 ERA and 1.24 WHIP while walking two and striking out 21 in 17 2/3 innings over five starts with Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Louisville on his rehab assignment. Minor shouldn't have any restrictions placed on him in his first start, but he'll merely be a back-end rotation option in deeper leagues on a bad Reds team.

Sun May 22 202212:55Mike Minor To Make Another Rehab Start
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) will make another minor league rehab start, likely on Thursday for Triple-A Louisville. Minor has been out all year with a left shoulder injury, but he's inching closer to making his 2022 debut for Cincy. The 34-year-old left-hander has already made four rehab starts with Louisville and Double-A Chattanooga, going 0-3 with an 8.49 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while walking two and striking out 12 in 11 2/3 innings pitched. Minor has allowed 17 total hits (four home runs), so the Reds probably want to see some better results before they feel comfortable adding the veteran hurler to their starting rotation. In 28 starts (158 2/3 frames) for the Kansas City Royals last year, Minor went 8-12 with a 5.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 41 walks and 149 K's.

Mon May 16 202209:36Mike Minor Strikes Out Four At Triple-A Sunday
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) made his second rehab start at Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. He pitched 2 1/3 innings and allowed three hits, one walk and two runs (one earned) while striking out four. He threw 60 pitches in the game with 41 of them winding up as strikes. Minor pitched three perfect innings in his first rehab outing, striking out four along the way. He now has a 1.69 ERA over 5 1/3 innings during his rehab stint. It's likely that he will receive one or two more rehab outings before making his 2022 debut for the Reds as he still needs to extend his pitch count.

Fri May 6 202215:56Mike Minor Expected To Make Rehab Start Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds left-hander Mike Minor (shoulder) is expected to make a minor league rehab start next Tuesday, according to manager David Bell. Minor started a rehab assignment in mid-April, but he suffered a setback with renewed left shoulder soreness during a rehab outing with Double-Chattanooga. The 34-year-old threw a simulated game at High-A Dayton earlier this week and is now ready to restart his rehab assignment. The veteran southpaw is likely to need multiple rehab starts before joining the Reds, but barring any more setbacks, he could make his season debut later this month. Minor posted a 5.05 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, a 22.3% strikeout rate and a 6.1% walk rate in 28 starts over 158 2/3 innings for the Kansas City Royals last year.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) reported shoulder soreness after his rehab outing with Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday.

It's unclear when Minor will return to action and remains day-to-day. Reds' top prospect Nick Lodolo will stay in the rotation while Minor is sidelined.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment in Double-A on Wednesday. The 34-year-old lefty began the season on the injured list due to a shoulder issue. He was acquired by Cincinnati from Kansas City in March. The former All-Star has struggled in each of the last two seasons. However, he looks to rebuild his value with the Reds. Fantasy managers should expect Minor to return in late-April.

Thu Apr 7 202222:45Luis Castillo To Return In Late-April, Mike Minor Set For Sim Game
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Luis Castillo (shoulder) will return closer to the end of April, while left-hander Mike Minor (shoulder) is set to come back during the "middle of the month." On Thursday, Castillo was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sore shoulder. The 29-year-old will play catch on Friday and throw a bullpen session over the weekend. According to Reds manager Dave Bell, Castillo is scheduled to return to the rotation at the end of April. Minor will throw a simulated game on Friday and, barring any setbacks, will return in mid-April. The southpaw was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to shoulder soreness. Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo will remain in the rotation while both Minor and Castillo are sidelined.

Thu Apr 7 202214:30Luis Castillo, Mike Minor Placed On Injured List
The Cincinnati Reds officially placed starting pitchers Luis Castillo (shoulder) and Mike Minor (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Right-hander Lucas Sims and infielders Jose Barrero and infielder Donovan Solano were also put on the IL to kick off the season. Castillo is dealing with a sore shoulder and will miss the start of the regular season, but he's not expected to be out for too long. With both Castillo and Minor on the shelf, pitching prospects Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo will both begin the season in the rotation. They both have plenty of upside, especially Greene, but fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if the Reds send them both back to the minors once Castillo and Minor are healthy.

Thu Mar 24 202214:19Mike Minor Might Open Season On Injured List
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell acknowledged that starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) might open the season on the injured list. Minor dealt with some early shoulder soreness in camp, but he's past it now. However, there likely isn't enough time for him to ramp up with a shortened spring training this year. It's the same story with many pitchers around baseball in 2022. The veteran left-hander was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in a minor trade earlier this spring, and when healthy, he'll be a lock for Cincy's starting rotation. Arms such as Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo and Riley O'Brien could be options to open the year in the rotation if Minor isn't ready to go.

Wed Mar 16 202214:06Reds Acquire Pitcher Mike Minor From Royals
The Cincinnati Reds acquired left-hander Mike Minor and cash from the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Amir Garrett. Minor finished last year on the injured list with a left shoulder impingement, but he was able to make 28 starts over 158 2/3 innings for the Royals while going 8-12 with a 5.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 149 K's to 41 walks. If the 34-year-old is fully healthy this spring, he will be a member of the Reds starting rotation after they traded Sonny Gray to the Minnesota Twins a week ago. Minor was an All-Star in 2019 with the Texas Rangers, but he doesn't possess a ton of fantasy upside with a 4.11 career ERA and only 8.2 strikeouts per nine innings in 10 big-league seasons for the Royals, Rangers, Atlanta Braves and Oakland Athletics.

Wed Sep 15 202119:05Mike Minor Scratched And Placed On Injured List
The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to shoulder impingement syndrome. The team recalled reliever Scott Blewett from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Minor was originally slated to start Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics, but Carlos Hernandez is now starting in his place. Minor might not be able to make it back before the end of the regular season due to the timing of the injury. Over 28 starts this year, he's gone 8-12 with a 5.05 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Minor had a decent outing in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Houston Astros. He pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits, no walks and three earned runs while striking out four. He was left with a no decision in the game. Through 25 starts on the year, Minor has gone 8-11 with a 5.34 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP and a 23.5% strikeout rate. His 4.36 xERA suggests that he's been a bit unlucky so far, but he's really struggled to limit hard contact. His .440 xSLG ranks in the 23rd percentile while his 9.8% barrel rate ranks in the 20th percentile. He's lined up to make his next start on Wednesday and he'll face the Astros once again.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Minor delivered a solid start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Unfortunately, the Royals were shut out 6-0 in the game, so Minor was tagged with the loss, dropping his record to 8-11 on the year. Minor now has three quality starts over his last five outings, but none of those quality starts have been fantastic. He's allowed at least two runs in each of his last 11 starts. He has a 5.35 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP on the year. He'll make a next start on Thursday against the Houston Astros.

Over 23 starts on the year, Minor is 8-10 with a 5.39 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP and a 23.3% strikeout rate. He has a 4.37 xERA on the year, so he's been a little unlucky so far, but he's giving up far too much hard contact to be successful. He ranks in the 24th percentile in xSLG (.437) and in the 17th percentile in max exit velocity (114.2 mph). He can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues for now. He'll make his next start on Wednesday against the New York Yankees.
