Chase Petty News: Doesn't pitch Saturday

Petty didn't pitch in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Guardians after being expected to operate as the primary pitcher.

The right-hander was initially listed as Cincinnati's probable starter for Saturday, but the Reds made a late pivot and had Brent Suter open the game. Suter tossed three scoreless frames to lead off the game, but rather than turning to Petty after that, manager Terry Francona opted to have five other relievers finish out the win. The Reds will continue to have an opening in the rotation until Hunter Greene (groin) returns from the injured list, but Petty may not receive another start after getting lit up for 13 earned runs with a 7:8 K:BB in his first 5.1 big-league innings.
