Reds' Dane Myers: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Reds activated Myers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Myers landed on the IL in late June with a left shoulder contusion but is ready to go after playing a couple rehab games this week. He is slated to serve on the short side of a platoon in center field with TJ Friedl.
The Reds have agreed to terms with Burns on a seven-year, $105 million contract extension, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
The deal will begin in 2027 and run through 2033 and is a major-league record for a pitcher with less than four years of service time. Burns made his first All-Star team in 2026, carrying a 2.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB over 102.2 frames across 18 starts into the break. The right-hander boasts a 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 31 career appearances (26 starts) at the big-league level.
Burns (groin) will start Tuesday's game against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
Burns dealt with a groin issue during his most recent start July 8 against the Phillies, prompting him to pull out of his first All-Star Game appearance. The injury was never viewed as a major concern, and with the All-Star break providing Burns with some extra time to recuperate, he won't have to miss a turn through the rotation. The 23-year-old righty closed the first half with an 11-1 record, 2.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB across 102.2 innings over 18 starts.
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Homers in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Suarez went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Cubs.
Suarez, who homered for a second straight day, dialed up the power this past week with three long balls over his last six games (22 ABs). The flip side of that are the 16 times he's struck out during that stretch. Suarez has 11 home runs and 35 RBI through 67 games.

Reds' Chase Burns: Will miss All-Star Game
Rotowire
Burns will not play in Tuesday's All-Star Game due to a right groin injury he suffered during his last start Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Burns, who labored through five innings and 106 pitches, was injured while covering home plate on a wild pitch. The right-hander said he didn't feel anything wrong while on the mound for the rest of the game but felt tightness the following day. He huddled with manager Terry Francona and the front office and decided it was best to not represent the National League in the midsummer classic. There has been no mention of imaging, which suggests the 23-year-old could return following the All-Star break.

Reds' Dane Myers: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
The Reds sent Myers to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday to begin a rehab assignment.
Per MLB.com, Myers is hopeful to return from the 10-day injured list for the Reds' first game out of the All-Star break Friday in Colorado, so he may need just a couple of games in Arizona to prove his health. Before landing on the IL on June 30 due to a left shoulder contusion, Myers had mostly served as a short-side platoon outfielder for the Reds this season and slashed .256/.358/.385 with three home runs, five stolen bases, 14 RBI and 18 runs across 137 plate appearances.

Reds' Andrew Abbott: Goes four innings vs. Cubs
Rotowire
Abbott did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.
It was a short outing for Abbott, who failed to make it through five innings for the first time in his last 14 starts. It's also the first time that the left-hander's given up more than three earned runs in a start over that span -- he'd posted a 2.86 ERA across 72.1 innings in his previous 13 outings. Abbott will head into the All-Star break with a 4.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 84:48 K:BB over 20 starts (105 innings) this season.
Reds manager Terry Francona said Sunday that Lowder will rejoin the starting rotation after the All-Star break, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
The right-hander was shifted to the bullpen last week after Hunter Greene was cleared to come off the injured list and will now re-enter the rotation following Nick Lodolo's (finger) placement on the injured list Sunday. Lowder -- who will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the Cubs -- has pitched well in his two relief outings with just one run allowed over five frames. He posted a 5.31 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over his 13 starts.
