Description: Cincinnati righthander Mike Leake allowed just three hits over eight strong innings Wednesday in a win over the Cubs. | Insight: After a couple of shaky seasons at the back of the Reds rotation, Leake has emerged as a legitimate fantasy ace in 2013.

| 5/21/2013 10:08:00 PM |
Description: Reds starter Mike Leake ran his record to 4-2 with seven scoreless innings Tuesday against the Mets. | Insight: Leake gave up three hits and walked two in the game. The Reds chose to leave Leake in the rotation and send down rookie Tony Cingrani when Johnny Cueto returned from the DL, and he rewarded that decision Tuesday.

| 5/15/2013 10:45:00 PM |
Description: Reds starter Mike Leake made his case to remain in the rotation with 6 2/3 scoreless innings and six strikeouts against the Marlins Wednesday. | Insight: Leake allowed nine hits in the game, but nobody on Miami could come up with a clutch hit. Leake has a 3.72 this season, but his WHIP is 1.49. Tony Cingrani is a much better fantasy option, but one of the two will have to leave the rotation when Johnny Cueto returns Monday. | | |
| 4/17/2013 10:10:00 PM |
Description: Reds starter Mike Leake earned his first victory of the season Wednesday against Philadelphia. | Insight: Leake probably could have pitched deeper into the game (he only threw 81 pitches over seven innings) but the Reds were up 11-0 so they really didn't need him to. Leake will make his next start Monday against the Cubs. | | |
| 10/10/2012 8:49:00 PM |

| 8/15/2012 10:31:00 PM |
Description: While it may not have been quite as heroic as Felix Hernandez's performance, Reds starter Mike Leake still looked pretty impressive in Cincinnati's 6-1 win over the Mets on Wednesday. Over nine innings, Leake allowed just one run on four hits. He walked none and struck out four. | Insight: Wednesday was the first complete game of Leake's career. He's now 2-1 with a 4.93 ERA since the All-Star break. | | |

Description: Reds starter Mike Leake allowed five runs on five hits with three walks in 1 2/3 innings Monday against the Padres. | Insight: As we noted in a column last week, Leake should never be started when he's pitching at the Great American Ballpark.

| Hot | 7/19/2012 5:55:00 PM |
Description: Reds starter Mike Leake came into Thursday's start sporting a 2.59 ERA in 73 innings over his last 11 starts, but Arizona sent him packing after 5 1/3 innings (11 H, 6 ER). | Insight: Leake has been an above-average starting pitcher since mid-May, but Thursday was not one of his finer efforts. | | |
| Hot | 7/4/2012 11:01:00 AM |
Description: Reds starter Mike Leake has pitched very well over his last three starts, going 1-0 with two no decisions, a 1.50 ERA and 0.917 WHIP. | Insight: Leake's overall 3-5 won/loss record is deceiving, he's pitching well of late and against a slumping Dodgers lineup could add his fourth consecutive game yielding two runs or less. Start him on Wednesday. | | |
| 6/13/2012 10:58:00 AM |
Description: Reds starter Mike Leake will miss Wednesday's scheduled start against Cleveland due to illness. He is expected to start on Thursday with Mat Latos starting Wednesday on short rest. | Insight: Thus far, Leake has not shown us that last year's productive season (12-9, 3.86 ERA, 1.175 WHIP) is repeatable. He should not be in any starting lineups until he does. | | |
| 8/27/2010 5:04:00 PM |
Description: The Reds have placed Leake (right shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a fatigued right shoulder. | Insight: Leake has struggled since being 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA in early June (6.47 ERA in 13 appearances-11 starts since June 10).

Description: The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the Reds are considering shutting Leake down for the season. | Insight: Leake had a terrific start to his rookie season, and was recently moved to the bullpen to limit his innings.

Description: The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the Reds are going to move Leake to the bullpen in an effort to limit his innings. | Insight: This has ben reported about for awhile, and now that Homer Bailey is healthy it has come to fruition.
