The Cincinnati Reds sit at 30-28 and in last place in the NL Central as of June 1. Elly De La Cruz's recent injury adds to their woes, but the bigger issue lies in the starting rotation beyond ace Chase Burns. While Burns has a 7-1 record with a 1.96 RA, the rest of the rotation has compiled a dismal 0.0 bWAR. Andrew Abbott has a 3.88 ERA, but Nick Lodolo and Brady Singer are struggling with ERAs of 5.20 and 6.18, respectively. The team faces challenges with several pitchers on the injured list, including Hunter Greene.
