Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, June 3 (unless otherwise noted).

Raisel Iglesias Locks Down 12th Save

Cincinnati Reds closer Raisel Iglesias pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday to preserve a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Iglesias struck out two and allowed one hit in the frame.

Luis Castillo Shuts Down Cards on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo was excellent in a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Castillo allowed just one run over six innings while racking up eight strikeouts. The outing was a nice bounce-back for Castillo after he had looked hittable over his previous two outings. Overall, the young fireballer has a […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

Week 10 provides a number of young arms and a few pitchers whose limitations make them easy to overlook. I’m particularly excited about the Indians’ calling up Zach Plesac.

Derek Dietrich Sitting Out Friday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman/outfielder Derek Dietrich is getting the day off Friday. After never hitting more than 16 home runs in a season, Dietrich has been an absolute revelation for the Reds so far, already surpassing his career high in home runs through only 53 games. It hasn't been all smooth sailing, though, as all […]

Scooter Gennett Taking Batting Practice, Ground Balls

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) is taking batting practice and ground balls on Friday.
