The Reds optioned Petty to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
After he was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday, Petty had initially been expected to get a start. Instead Brent Suter opened the game, and Petty didn't get called upon until the bottom of the 11th after seven other pitchers had been used. He ended up taking his third loss of the season, recording two outs before surrendering a game-winning hit to Yohel Pozo. The Reds sent Petty back to the minors to remain stretched out as a starter and recalled Yosver Zulueta to replace him in the bullpen.

Reds' Chase Petty: Working behind opener Saturday
Rotowire
Petty is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to work in relief behind opening pitcher Brent Suter in Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Manager Terry Francona is labeling Saturday's contest as a bullpen day, but assuming he's formally recalled from the Reds' taxi squad, Petty will likely be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief once Suter exits the contest. Petty yielded 13 earned runs in 5.1 innings over his prior two big-league appearances this season, but he pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB in 16.2 innings over four starts with Louisville upon being demoted May 21.

Reds' Chase Petty: Stepping into rotation
Rotowire
Petty was added to the Reds' taxi squad Friday and will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to start Saturday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The right-hander will enter the rotation in place of Wade Miley (forearm), who was placed on the injured list Friday. Petty struggled in his first two big-league appearances earlier this season with 13 runs allowed over 5.1 innings, but he pitched to a 2.70 ERA in four starts with Louisville since being demoted.

Reds' Chase Petty: Returning to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Petty to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
After Cincinnati chose to bypass Petty for a start last Saturday against the Guardians and instead opted for a bullpen day when the fifth spot in the rotation came up, the writing was on the wall for the 22-year-old righty to head back to the minors. He's been roughed up in both of his two starts for the Reds this season, covering 5.1 innings while coughing up 13 earned runs on 13 hits and eight walks.

Reds' Chase Petty: Doesn't pitch Saturday
Rotowire
Petty didn't pitch in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Guardians after being expected to operate as the primary pitcher.
The right-hander was initially listed as Cincinnati's probable starter for Saturday, but the Reds made a late pivot and had Brent Suter open the game. Suter tossed three scoreless frames to lead off the game, but rather than turning to Petty after that, manager Terry Francona opted to have five other relievers finish out the win. The Reds will continue to have an opening in the rotation until Hunter Greene (groin) returns from the injured list, but Petty may not receive another start after getting lit up for 13 earned runs with a 7:8 K:BB in his first 5.1 big-league innings.

Reds' Chase Petty: Following opener Saturday
Rotowire
Petty will pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Brent Suter against the Guardians on Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Petty's first two major-league starts haven't quite gone according to plan, as he's allowed 13 earned runs in just 5.1 innings. The Reds will now see how the 22-year-old fares after following an opener, and he could continue to do so in his future turns through the rotation if his performance improves.

Reds' Chase Petty: Another start awaits
Rotowire
Petty is listed as the Reds' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Guardians in Cincinnati.
After being called up from Triple-A Louisville last weekend, Petty made his second MLB start in a 6-0 loss to the Astros on Sunday, when he was charged with four earned runs on six hits and six walks over four innings. Though he now holds a 21.94 ERA and 3.94 WHIP through his first two big-league outings, Petty will nonetheless get a second straight turn through the rotation while the Reds are short on appealing alternatives following Hunter Greene's (groin) recent move to the injured list. Rhett Lowder (forearm) has made two rehab starts and could be ready to return from the IL by the end of the month, so Petty may be at risk of losing his spot with the big club if he continues to languish Saturday and in any other starts that might follow.

Reds' Chase Petty: Walks six in short outing
Rotowire
Petty dropped to 0-2 after striking out four and yielding four runs on six hits and six walks over three-plus innings Sunday in the Reds' 6-0 loss to the Astros.
Petty put two runners on base in each of the first two innings but did not allow a run until Yainer Diaz's three-run blast in the third. He put three runners on base without recording an out in the fourth frame, but only one came around to score with Brent Suter on the mound. Petty threw 45 of 90 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs. He's coughed up 13 runs through 5.1 innings to begin his MLB career. Petty is currently lined up to face the Guardians at home next weekend.
The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
The 22-year-old will take the rotation spot of Hunter Greene, who was placed on the 15-day IL with a strained groin. Petty made his MLB debut back on April 30 against the Cardinals but lasted just 2.1 innings, allowing nine earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three. Petty will likely get a longer look this time around with Greene expected to miss at least a couple weeks.
Petty (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, surrendering nine runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out three.
Making his first appearance on a big-league mound, Petty ran into trouble immediately as Willson Contreras launched a slider 421 feet to straightaway center field for a three-run homer in the first inning. While Petty's MLB debut didn't go according to plan, the 2021 first-round pick figures to see more action with the Reds over the summer as the team needs to plug holes in its rotation. Through five outings for Triple-A Louisville prior to his promotion, Petty put together a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB in 23 innings.

Reds' Chase Petty: Goes back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Petty to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
As expected, Petty will head back to Triple-A after he was designated as the Reds' 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. He took the hill for Game 2 of the twin bill and was dealt a loss in his MLB debut after giving up nine earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 2.1 innings.
The Reds selected Petty's contract from Triple-A Louisville ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Cardinals in the second game of a doubleheader.
Cincinnati is designating Petty as its 27th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to be returned to Louisville once the doubleheader concludes. The 22-year-old righty will be making his MLB debut Wednesday after turning in a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 23 innings over his first five starts of the season at the Triple-A level.

Reds' Chase Petty: Added to taxi squad for start
Rotowire
The Reds added Petty to their taxi squad ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals in Cincinnati. Petty is slated to start the second game of the twin bill.
With a rainout Tuesday creating a stretch of six games in five days for the Reds, Petty will step in to serve as a temporary sixth starter. The 22-year-old righty is expected to be sent back to Louisville after the start, but a strong showing versus the Cardinals could solidify his case for joining the Reds on a longer-term basis later on in the season if a more permanent opening in the rotation should emerge. Through his five outings with Louisville this season, Petty owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 23 innings.
Petty will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals in Cincinnati, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
The Reds and Cardinals were rained out Tuesday and will play a twin bill Wednesday. Petty, one of Cincinnati's top prospects, will make his MLB debut and serve as the club's 27th player on the roster. The 22-year-old right-hander is 0-2 with a 3.52 ERA with 27 strikeouts and nine walks over 23 innings in five starts for Louisville. Petty was dominant in his most recent start April 23, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven over six shutout innings. He'll likely be returned to Louisville after making his start Wednesday.
