• Cincinnati promoted Spiers from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

  Spiers will make his 2026 season debut when he is called on to pitch. In four games with Louisville this season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB over 20.1 innings. The Reds designated TJ Friedl for assignment in order to make room for Spiers.

• The Reds re-signed Spiers (elbow) to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday.

  Spiers was non-tendered by Cincinnati last week, but he'll remain in the organization on a minor-league pact. The right-hander is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season after having Tommy John surgery in late July, so it's likely a two-year minor-league contract.

• The Reds non-tendered Spiers (elbow) on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

  Spiers was DFA'd by the Reds on Tuesday and will now officially leave the organization after not being offered a contract ahead of Friday's deadline. The 28-year-old righty underwent Tommy John surgery in late July and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season.

• Spiers (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

  Cincinnati needed a 40-man spot for one of its young prospects, and Spiers was a likely choice to be bounced given he's expected to miss most, if not all, of 2026. The right-hander made three appearances (two starts) in the majors this past season before undergoing Tommy John surgery at the end of July. Spiers has put up a 5.69 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 117 career innings in the majors.

• Reds manager Terry Francona said Saturday that Spiers will require season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

  Spiers had been in the midst of a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville while working his way back from a shoulder impingement, but he was pulled off the assignment about a week ago after experiencing soreness in his right biceps. He underwent a couple of MRIs since then, and a second opinion confirmed that Tommy John surgery was necessary. No date has been set for Spiers' procedure, but the surgery will be performed by renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister. In addition to missing the remainder of the season, Spiers will be at risk of missing the entire 2026 campaign as well.

• Spiers (shoulder) underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed ligament issues, MLB.com reports.

  Reds manager Terry Francona confirmed the results of the MRI and said Spiers will seek a second opinion. "It's not cut and dry, but there is some concern," Francona said. Spiers first hurt the shoulder in April and was transferred to 60-day injured list in late May.
