2024 Fantasy Outlook
Spiers fared well in his second go-round at Double-A Chattanooga in 2023 and was needed for MLB innings during the Reds' push for the postseason in September. In the minors, the right-hander's walk rate inched up, but Speirs' improved location within the strike zone resulted in a better strikeout percentage and significantly lowered home run rate. Desperate for pitching help in the majors, the Reds summoned Spiers from Double-A for four appearances (two starts) that went predictably awry. Spiers' name will mentioned when talking about the team's starting depth, but he could spend the entire season in the minors. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year contract with the Reds in September of 2023.
Optioned to Louisville
PCincinnati Reds  AAA
April 13, 2024
The Reds optioned Spiers to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Spiers will be squeezed off the MLB roster following the return of Nick Lodolo (calf) from the injured list Saturday. Spiers allowed four runs (three earned) in his lone appearance during his stint in the majors and could return to Cincinnati later this season to give the Reds' bullpen a fresh arm.
