Reds left-hander Brandon Williamson completed a Minor League rehab start with Triple-A Louisville as he recovers from shoulder fatigue. In his outing against St. Paul, he allowed four runs on two hits, while striking out one but struggling with his command. This performance comes after a positive showing in his previous rehab start with Double-A Chattanooga.

By the Numbers
  • Williamson threw 34 pitches, with 19 strikes.
  • He gave up four runs and two hits over two-thirds of an inning.
State of Play
  • Williamson's prior rehab appearance resulted in one run over two innings.
  • The Reds are eager for his return as ace Hunter Greene is currently on the IL.
What's Next

Williamson is likely to require additional rehab starts to ramp up his pitch count before returning to the Major Leagues, aiming to build on his earlier strong performances from Spring Training.

Bottom Line

The Reds need a healthy Williamson to bolster their rotation, particularly with Greene out, and his ability to regain form will be crucial for the team's success moving forward.
