Description: As expected, the Reds sent youngster Tony Cingrani to Triple-A Louisville to make room for Johnny Cueto's expected return next week. | Insight: Cingrani (2-0, 3.27 ERA, 1.030 WHIP) proved to be a solid starter, but needs a little work to become a fantasy stud at the next level as he was too dependent on one pitch, the fastball. | | |

Description: Reds starter Tony Cingrani is expected to start on Friday, but has been dealing with a sore shoulder and is listed as probable. | Insight: Cingrani (2-0, 2.89) has struck out 37 batters and walked just seven in 28 innings this season, but this might be his last start before heading back to the minors if Johnny Cueto is ready to take a spot in the rotation. | | |

Description: Reds starter Tony Cingrani's next scheduled start has been pushed back due to a sore left shoulder, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. However, the soreness is believed to be minor, as Cingrani threw his regular bullpen session Tuesday. | Insight: Cingrani (2-0, 2.89) has struck out 37 batters and walked just seven in 28 innings this season, but the team will have to play it safe with the 23-year-old left-hander. He could be sent down when Johnny Cueto returns from the DL. | | |

Description: Reds starter Tony Cingrani fired six more impressive innings, this time facing the tough Nationals' lineup. He yielded just two hits and a walk against 11 strikeouts without yielding a run. | Insight: It appears the youngster doesn't want to be sent down when Johnny Cueto gets healthy. Fantasy owners hope he stays with the big club. In three outings he's pitched 18 innings, given up three earned runs (1.50 ERA) and struck out 28 batters against four walks. He should be owned in all leagues. | | |

Description: Cincinnati minor league pitcher Tony Cingrani is making a good case for getting his shot at a spot on the major league roster should an injury occur to the Reds pitching staff. In his first start at Louisville, he went six innings, yielding zero hits and just one walk while striking out 14 batters. | Insight: Cingrani had a cup of coffee in the majors last season pitching five innings out of the bullpen and giving up just one run while striking out nine batters. He was 10-4 between Bakersfield and Pensacola last season with 172 strikeouts in 146 innings. The 23-year-old has a bright future and fantasy owners should be ready to add him should he get the call. | | |
