Reds starter Brady Singer says he's 'fine' after apparent injury

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brady Singer was examined again on Wednesday, August 26, following an apparent rib injury during a game against the San Francisco Giants on August 25. Singer continued to play after the incident but left the game two batters later with 91 pitches already thrown, facing the dangerous left-handed batter Rafael Devers.

Singer expressed confidence that he was fine after the game. The Reds' starting pitcher for the past two seasons has shown resilience by pitching through minor injuries, including a blister and a bruised foot. After initially striking out, Singer landed awkwardly on the second pitch, which hit Giants' leadoff man Drew Gilbert. Singer's manager, Terry Francona, initially suspected a more serious injury but noted that Singer managed to limit damage in the early innings. Despite the injury, the Reds lost the game 3-1.
