Reds optioned LHP Tony Cingrani to Triple-A Louisville.
The Reds needed to clear a rotation spot with Johnny Cueto returning from the disabled list Monday, so Cingrani was officially sent down. He was mostly excellent over his first six major league starts, posting a 3.27 ERA, nine walks and 41 strikeouts in 33 innings. Neftali Soto has been called up to replace Cingrani on the active roster, and Mike Leake will remain Cincinnati's fifth starter. May 18 - 1:15 PM

Tony Cingrani - S - Reds

Tony Cingrani yielded three runs in five innings Friday in a no-decision against the Phillies.

Following his recent bout of shoulder soreness, Cingrani needed 100 pitches to complete the five frames. After posting a 1.50 ERA over his first three starts in the majors, the southpaw has allowed nine runs in 15 innings over his last three starts and has served up five homers in the process. We still like Cingrani for the long-term, but he could be headed back to the minors next week when Johnny Cueto (lat) returns from the disabled list.

Tony Cingrani's next start has been pushed back due to a sore pitching shoulder.

The soreness is said to be minor, but with Monday's off day, the Reds want to play it safe. It's possible they could skip over his turn entirely, depending on how he recovers. This certainly won't help Cingrani's case to remain in the rotation after Johnny Cueto returns.

Tony Cingrani said Monday that he "wouldn't be surprised" if he gets sent back to Triple-A Louisville.

The 23-year-old left-hander has registered a stellar 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 37/7 K/BB over 28 innings this season for the Reds, but Johnny Cueto (lat, oblique) is just about ready to return from the disabled list. It will either be Cingrani or Leake leaving the Cincy starting rotation to make room. "Whatever they tell me to do, I will do," Cingrani said. "Leake has been here for four years, and I wouldn't be surprised if I go back down."

Tony Cingrani yielded two runs in four innings Friday against the Brewers.

Cingrani needed 85 pitches just to get 12 outs. The rookie left-hander allowed five hits and two walks while whiffing four. He kept the Reds off the board for the first three innings before giving up back-to-back homers to Jean Segura and Ryan Braun in his final frame. Cingrani still holds an excellent 2.89 ERA through five starts, but he has allowed six home runs in 28 innings. Johnny Cueto is nearing his return from the disabled list, so the Reds will have to make a decision between Cingrani and Mike Leake soon.

Tony Cingrani had mixed results in a no-decision against the Reds on Saturday, allowing four runs on just three hits and a walk over six innings.

Cingrani punched out five in the game but he also hit a pair of batters. All of the Cubs' damage came from Alfonso Soriano, who belted a pair of two-run homers. Cingrani has been very impressive through his first four starts this season, boasting a 2-0 record, 2.63 ERA and 33/5 K/BB ratio over 24 innings. He'll look to keep things rolling when he does battle against the Brewers at home on Friday. It's not yet clear what the Reds are going to do with him when Johnny Cueto returns from the disabled list.

Tony Cingrani hurled six innings of scoreless ball Sunday to help the Reds beat the Nationals 5-2.

Another electric outing from the young left-hander. Cingrani gave up only two hits and issued just one walk while racking up a career-high 11 strikeouts. He now has a 1.50 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 28/4 K/BB ratio through his first 18 major league innings this season. The Reds will keep rolling Cingrani out there until Johnny Cueto (lat) returns and he's a must-own right now in all standard mixed fantasy leagues.

Tony Cingrani allowed two runs over seven innings, but the Reds fell to the Cubs in extra innings on Tuesday.

The lefty didn't get a win, but it wasn't any fault of his own. Cingrani allowed just two second-inning runs while striking out nine in his seven innings. Cingrani also didn't walk anyone. It's unclear how long he'll remain with the club, but he's a nice mixed league option while he continues to start. He'll have a tougher test Sunday when he takes on the Nationals.

Tony Cingrani - S - Reds

Tony Cingrani only lasted five innings, but he struck out eight and held the Marlins to one run to win his first major league start in Thursday’s 11-1 victory.

Cingrani allowed five hits, including a long homer to Justin Ruggiano, while issuing three free passes. He required 102 pitches to cover the five frames. The young left-hander’s fastball was as advertised, and he used it almost exclusively throughout the game. A guy that relies on deception and one pitch is sure to go through rough patches, but Cingrani is a fine short-term fantasy option while Johnny Cueto is on the DL. He has another nice matchup next week against the Cubs.

Reds recalled LHP Tony Cingrani from Triple-A Louisville.

Cingrani will make his first major league start on Thursday night against the Marlins. It's a juicy matchup for the talented 23-year-old left-hander, who had thrown 14 1/3 scoreless innings -- racking up 26 strikeouts and issuing only two walks -- this season at Triple-A Louisville. He's worth a try in most fantasy formats.

Tony Cingrani - S - Reds

Reds prospect Tony Cingrani will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start Thursday against the Marlins.

The Reds will likely make the promotion official after Wednesday's game. Cingrani owns a 1.62 career ERA in the minors, including a 26/2 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 scoreless innings in Triple-A this season. Known for his deceptive delivery, the left-hander is well worth owning in most fantasy formats while Johnny Cueto (lat) is sidelined. He has a very favorable matchup for his first major league start.

Tony Cingrani was pulled after two innings in his start for Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Cingrani will take Johnny Cueto's spot in the Reds' rotation if Cueto's triceps injury forces him to miss time. The left-hander struck out five of the six batters he faced on Sunday and now has 26 strikeouts without allowing a run over his 14 1/3 Triple-A innings this season.

Tony Cingrani - S - Reds

John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer suspects that Tony Cingrani might take Johnny Cueto's rotation spot.

Cueto suffered a triceps injury during his start Saturday night against the Pirates and will probably be out for a little while. Cingrani, 23, owns a sparkling 1.63 ERA and 11.7 K/9 in 209 2/3 career minor league innings. He'd carry good fantasy value for however long he's up.

Reds manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday that the club considered calling up prospect left-hander Tony Cingrani to replace Sean Marshall (shoulder) in the bullpen.

The club didn't want to impede Cingrani's progress as a starting pitcher, so they ultimately settled on Logan Ondrusek as Marshall's replacement on the roster. "He’s our first call-up if one of our starters goes down," Baker said. "He still has to work on his breaking ball. We kicked around Cingrani. It’s just that we didn’t want to impede his progress as a starter. If anything happens to one of my starters, we don’t have a whole of quality backup." Cingrani, 23, owns a 21/2 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 scoreless innings through his first two starts with Triple-A Louisville this season.

Reds optioned LHP Tony Cingrani, RHP Daniel Corcino to Triple-A Louisville; RHPs Kyle Lotzkar, Josh Ravin to Double-A Pensacola; RHP Carlos Contreras, OF Yorman Rodriguez to Low-A Dayton.

The Reds also reassigned righties Nick Christiani and Chad Rogers, catcher Nevin Ashley, infielder Kristopher Negron and outfielder Ryan LaMarre to minor league camp. It's a little surprising that Cingrani was cut already, but he didn't have a real chance at cracking the Opening Day roster. The left-hander will join the rotation at Louisville.
