Manager Terry Francona said that Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher in a bullpen game Saturday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Suter is stepping into the rotation spot vacated by left-hander Wade Miley (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. The 35-year-old Suter has previously opened two games for the Reds, but since he'll be taking the hill on one day's rest and has maxed out at 3.2 innings and 63 pitches over his 23 appearances on the season, he's unlikely to stay in the game for more than one turn through the batting order. The Reds are expected to call up right-hander Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville prior to Saturday's game, and he could be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief once Suter exits the contest.

Reds' Brent Suter: Opening Saturday's game
Rotowire
Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Guardians, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Chase Petty will move into a bulk-relief role Saturday while Suter likely covers the first inning or two. The 35-year-old southpaw has been one of the most reliable arms on the Reds' pitching staff this season, logging a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 21.2 innings.

Reds' Brent Suter: Fills in admirably against Orioles
Rotowire
Suter took a no-decision Sunday at Baltimore. He struck out one over three scoreless innings while yielding three hits and no walks.
The veteran southpaw was called upon to sub in for Carson Spiers (shoulder), who hit the injured list before this game. Suter was solid, generating six whiffs out of his 63 total pitches. With this effort, the 35-year-old now sports a 1.86 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 9.2 innings. Suter probably will not make another start, as Nick Lodolo (personal) should return soon to fill the empty rotation spot.

Reds' Brent Suter: Set to start Sunday
Rotowire
Suter will start Sunday's game against the Orioles, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Sunday's previously scheduled starter Carson Spiers was needed to pitch Saturday and is now on the injured list with a shoulder issue, prompting the Reds to turn to Suter as an opener for the series finale in Baltimore. The left-hander has given up two earned runs with a 3:1 K:BB across 6.2 innings this season, and he should turn things over to the Cincinnati bullpen after an inning or two. Randy Wynne was added to the roster for Sunday's contest and is a candidate to work in bulk relief.
Suter signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Reds on Friday.
The deal includes a $3 million club option for 2026. Suter's previous contract included a $3.5 million club option for 2025, which the Reds bought out for $250,000 before agreeing to terms on his latest deal. The 35-year-old southpaw was an effective middle reliever for the Reds in 2024, putting up a 3.15 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 65.2 innings.

Reds' Brent Suter: Picks up first save
Rotowire
Suter earned the save in Wednesday's 12-5 win over Houston, allowing one run on three hits over 3.1 innings. He struck out six.
A Jon Singleton solo homer was the extent of the damage done off Suter, as the left-hander recorded the final 10 outs to earn the save in Wednesday's blowout victory. It's the first save of the year for Suter and just the second of his nine-year MLB career. Overall, Suter sports a 3.43 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 57.2 innings in a middle-relief role this season.

Reds' Brent Suter: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Reds reinstated Suter (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
The veteran left-hander is ready to rejoin Cincinnati after a three-game minor-league rehab assignment, during which he allowed one run on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks over 4.2 innings. Suter has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 41:10 K:BB over 51.1 innings this season, and he should return to a middle-relief role now that he's healthy.

Reds' Brent Suter: Cleared for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Suter (shoulder) has been sent to Triple-A Louisville to begin a rehab assignment.
Suter has been shelved since late July due to a partial tear of his left teres major muscle but has been cleared for game action after completing a bullpen session earlier this week. The lefty reliever is expected to require at least three rehab appearances, so he could be looking at an early September return from the injured list.

Rotowire
Suter (shoulder) had a good bullpen session Monday in Toronto and could begin his rehab assignment by the end of the week, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "The international pen was solid. Not unbelievable, but solid," Suter said. "Felt real good."
It's been previously reported that Suter will need three appearances on his rehab assignment, which pushes a potential return date to early September.

Reds' Brent Suter: Throwing live BP on Friday
Rotowire
Suter (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Assuming that goes well, Suter will likely be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next week. It was initially looking like the left-hander would be out until September after he was diagnosed in late July with a partial tear of his left teres major muscle, but he's recovered more quickly than expected.

Reds' Brent Suter: Throwing earlier than expected
Rotowire
Suter (shoulder) has begun throwing, MLB.com reports.

Reds' Brent Suter: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Reds placed Suter on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a partial tear of his left teres major muscle.
Suter's shoulder forced him to make an early exit from Friday's contest after just seven pitches, and he'll now be held out through the beginning of August at least. Casey Legumina was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

Reds' Brent Suter: Exits with injury
Rotowire
Suter was removed from Friday's game against the Nationals due to left shoulder tightness, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Suter was only able to get through two-thirds of an inning on seven pitches before exiting alongside a trainer. The 34-year-old southpaw may be unavailable for at least a game or two while the Reds determine the severity of the issue.

Reds' Brent Suter: Serving as opener Tuesday
Rotowire
Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Suter didn't make it through the first inning in his last stint as an opener, allowing one hit while recording two outs before being lifted in a May 26 start against the Dodgers. Nick Martinez will likely be tabbed to serve as a primary pitcher behind Suter on Tuesday, considering he hasn't pitched since Friday, when he needed only 11 pitches to get through a scoreless seventh inning against the Cubs.

Reds' Brent Suter: Opening Sunday's game
Rotowire
Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher in Sunday's game versus the Dodgers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Suter had some extended relief appearances earlier this season, but he pitched an inning Friday and hasn't lasted more than one frame in any of his last seven outings, so he won't work deep into Sunday's contest. The presumption, while not confirmed, is that Nick Martinez will eat most of the innings behind Suter as a bulk reliever.

Reds' Brent Suter: Set to open Thursday's game
Rotowire
Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
With Nick Lodolo (groin) landing on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, the Reds had a hole in the rotation for Thursday's series opener in Los Angeles. Suter has prior starting experience in the majors and previously worked three-plus innings on two occasions this season, but after making one-inning relief appearances Monday and Tuesday, Suter is unlikely to work more than one or two frames Thursday before exiting the contest. Nick Martinez will be available on three days' rest and is expected to work in bulk relief once Suter exits the contest, making Martinez the more attractive target for streaming purposes.
