Reds, Cardinals Promote Pitchers for Doubleheader

The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals will play a doubleheader after Tuesday's game was postponed by rain. Reds pitching prospect Chase Petty, acquired in a 2022 trade with the Twins for Sonny Gray, will debut as the 27th man in the second game, following a strong Triple-A performance. The Cardinals have also promoted pitching prospect Gordon Graceffo for the doubleheader after his earlier struggles this April. Brendan Donovan of the Cardinals is off to a historically strong start this season. Meanwhile, the Reds have placed infielder Jeimer Candelario on the injured list with a back strain. This busy stretch and roster shuffling could affect both teams' pitching rotations moving forward.
