Chase Burns approaches 30 starts in breakout season with Reds

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Chase Burns made his 29th start of the season against the Chicago Cubs on September 18, contributing to a victory. The 23-year-old hurler's next outing will mark his 30th start, a milestone that reflects a significant improvement over his 2025 season, where he made only eight starts. Reds manager Terry Francona highlighted the importance of limiting Burns' innings this year while still allowing him to reach this milestone. In his latest performance, Burns maintained a 15-3 record and a 2.86 ERA after three innings against the Cubs, with his next start expected soon as the Reds look to solidify their pitching strength for the future.
