Dunn (shoulder) is targeting Aug. 8 as the date for when he'll resume facing hitters in live batting practice, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosecrans' report doesn't specify where Dunn currently stands in his throwing program, but the right-hander is presumably at least playing catch again if the Reds are already outlining a date for him to toss live batting practice. Dunn has been in recovery mode since spring training due to soreness in the subscapularis muscle in his right rotator cuff. Considering that Dunn's 2022 campaign was also derailed by shoulder problems, the Reds may have to consider pulling the plug on developing him as a starter in an effort to keep the 27-year-old on the field.

Dunn (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn continues to battle serious shoulder problems and might be in for another lost season. The most recent diagnosis was right rotator cuff inflammation.

Dunn (shoulder) be shut down for a few months as his right shoulder inflammation heals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even though he's not undergoing surgery, Dunn may still have trouble returning in 2023 - with recovery, buildup and a rehab assignment, the best-case scenario appears to be a late-season return. The right-hander struggled mightily in 2022 with the Reds, posting a 6.10 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 31 innings.

Dunn is visiting orthopedic surgeon Dr. David Altchek in New York this week to have his pitching shoulder examined, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn was diagnosed with a strained right subscapularis, which is the same rotator cuff muscle that forced him to miss nearly a full calendar year between the summer of 2021 and the summer of 2022. It's unclear when he may be able to throw again.

Reds manager David Bell said Thursday that Dunn (shoulder) will miss a significant portion of spring training, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn had to essentially sit out a full calendar year between the summer of 2021 and the summer of 2022 because of a right shoulder injury, and that area began barking again last week in Reds camp. The 27-year-old can comfortably be ruled out for the beginning of the 2023 regular season. There's no exact timetable at the moment.

Dunn is currently limited in Reds camp due to unspecified discomfort, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn threw a bullpen session last week, but he has yet to return to the mound at the Reds' spring training complex in Goodyear, Arizona. This is concerning news for a pitcher who logged only 81.1 total major-league innings (18 starts) between the 2021-2022 campaigns due to right shoulder troubles. He has presumably been sent for tests, and it might already be safe to rule him out for a potential spot in Cincinnati's season-opening rotation.

Dunn and the Reds agreed on a one-year, $900,000 contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn and the Reds will avoid arbitration now after coming to an agreement Friday. The right-hander started seven games with Cincinnati in 2022, producing an inflated 6.10 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 21 punchouts over 31 innings. Due to the lack of proven arms on the Reds, Dunn will likely earn a spot in the starting rotation to open 2023.

Dunn (shoulder) struck out four over three scoreless innings in his rehab start Tuesday from Triple-A Louisville. He allowed no hits and issued two walks in the 46-pitch outing.

EDGE Analysis

According to MLB.com, Reds manager David Bell relayed that Bell said he felt the best he has at any point this season following Tuesday's rehab appearance, suggesting he's no longer experiencing any discomfort in his right shoulder. Cincinnati has already set its rotation for the remaining six games of the season, so Dunn will work out of the bullpen once activated from the 15-day injured list. Bell said that Dunn is expected to rejoin the Reds in Chicago over the weekend, so he could be activated at some point during the team's series with the Cubs.

Dunn (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn looked like a potential shutdown candidate when he landed on the 15-day injured list Sept. 15 with right shoulder tightness, but his latest shoulder issue apparently isn't severe as the one that kept him shelved for the first three months of the 2022 campaign. According to Nightengale, Dunn is expected to toss around 50-to-55 pitches Tuesday, with that sort of workload implying that the Reds intend to bring him back as a starter once he's activated from the IL. If all goes well Tuesday, Dunn could be a candidate to take over Chase Anderson's spot in the Cincinnati rotation Sunday in Chicago against the Cubs.

Dunn was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder tightness Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 12.

EDGE Analysis

Dunn was slated to start Friday's game against the Cardinals, but he's apparently dealing with a shoulder injury that will keep him out until at least late September. The Reds haven't announced who will take Dunn's place in the rotation, but they'll get a boost to their rotation this weekend since Hunter Greene (shoulder) is on track to return Saturday. While Dunn will be eligible to return Sept. 27, it's possible that the Reds elect to keep him out for the remainder of the season since the team isn't in postseason contention.
