The Cincinnati Reds have leaned heavily on their young pitching staff this season, led by Cincinnati ace Hunter Greene. However, the club’s lack of consistent power hitting remains a glaring problem.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schlittler has been a valuable arm through his first nine starts, and the team might now choose to trust him in October.

A redemption arc is exactly what Jason Heyward had for the Los Angeles Dodgers when he signed with the team in 2023.
