Reds rookie fireballer Chase Burns (elbow) lands on IL
The move is retroactive to Tuesday for Burns, who was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right flexor strain.
Burns, 22, is 0-3 with a 5.24 ERA in eight starts since making his major league debut on June 24.
He struck out exactly 10 batters in four of his last five starts, pushing his season total to 57 in 34 1/3 innings.
Cincinnati selected Burns with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Wake Forest.
The Reds recalled left-handed reliever Joe La Sorsa, 27, from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding transaction.

Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte LIVE RESULTS: Ball RETAINS title against Goodman ahead of huge main event
Frankly speaking Frank Warren reckons Moses Itauma is so calm and calculated that even the Planet's Baddest Man might struggle to scare him. The 73-year-old Hall-of-Famer told SunSport: 'Mike Tyson, in the early days, won 90 per cent of his fights outside the ring. "The intimidation was unbelievable. I mean, he really intimidated people. 'Most of the American heavyweight guys back then were from the streets but that's what he managed to do with a lot of them. 'There were a rare couple of fighters he couldn't intimidate, like Buster Douglas. "And he couldn't intimidate Evander Holyfield in any way, shape or form. 'And I think, with Moses, I think you have a hard job to intimidate him."

ESPN host makes humiliating error that Dave Portnoy brands 'next level stupid'
ESPN host Monica McNutt made a humiliating mistake while live on air that Dave Portnoy has branded 'next level stupid'. During Friday's episode of 'First Take', Stephen A. Smith and McNutt welcomed comedian and actor Druski onto the show, who was wearing the jersey of Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders. But, during a painfully awkward exchange, McNutt claimed he was actually wearing the jersey of Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders. The Browns' jerseys are typically orange, brown and white whereas the Lions are typically blue or white. McNutt, who is usually a basketball analyst, said to Druski: 'The jersey. Let's get into it because this obviously ties to one Shedeur Sanders.' Druski, awkwardly, then replied: 'No, no no. This is Barry Sanders.' McNutt instantly apologized for the mistake, while Smith did seem to be aware that is was Barry Sanders who Druski was supporting. Portnoy took to X on Saturday to comment on the incident, writing: 'This is next level stupid here'. Earlier this year, McNutt was accused of playing into 'racial hysteria' with a controversial theory on the popularity of WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark. Asked by BBC 's Katty Kay to explain the reason behind Clark's widespread acceptance, McNutt pointed to Clark's race and her midwestern roots. 'Caitlin represented, and again, some of this to me probably is not fair to her, because it was not anything that she said or was truly based on her personality, but she was a white girl from the middle of America,' McNutt said. 'And so she represented a whole lot to a lot of people, whether that is truly what she prescribed to or not.' Clark's race has remained a constant source of controversy on both sides of the political aisle, from conservatives who see her as the target of supposedly jealous African-American rivals, to liberals who think she's unfairly pulling the spotlight away from the league's black stars. Bobby Burack, a writer for Fox-owned responded by calling McNutt a 'fool,' while also targeting her fellow ESPN hosts. There was also outrage on social media. 'Is she an idiot (like Kendrick Perkins)?' Burack asked. 'Does she actually believe the manufactured racial hysteria (like Ryan Clark)? Or is she just gifting, knowing the upside of race-grifting as a black woman at ESPN (like Elle Duncan)? Hard to say.'

Exclusive: ESPN will not air Spike Lee's docuseries on Colin Kaepernick, network and filmmaker say
BEVERLY HILLS, California, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Director Spike Lee's multi-part docuseries for ESPN Films about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a national debate when he protested racial injustice nearly a decade ago, will not be released, the filmmaker and ESPN said. "ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences," ESPN said in a statement to Reuters on Saturday. "Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film." Lee told Reuters on Friday that the series was not going to be released. "It's not coming out. That's all I can say," Lee said on the red carpet ahead of the Harold and Carole Pump Foundation dinner, a fundraiser for cancer research and treatment, in Beverly Hills, California. Asked why, the Oscar-winning director declined to elaborate, citing a nondisclosure agreement. "I can't. I signed a nondisclosure. I can't talk about it." Kaepernick ignited a national debate in 2016 when he knelt during the U.S. national anthem to protest systemic racism and police brutality. The 37-year-old has not played in the NFL since that season. Many experts believed his political activism, which triggered a movement that drew the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump, was the key reason teams were wary of signing him. He later filed a collusion grievance against team owners, which was settled with the league in 2019. Representatives for Kaepernick did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Production on the series began in 2022, with Walt Disney-owned (DIS.N), opens new tab ESPN touting it as a "full, first-person account" of Kaepernick's journey that would feature extensive interviews with the player. In September, Puck News reported the project faced delays amid disagreements between Kaepernick and Lee over the direction of the film, and that ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro was open to allowing the filmmakers to shop it elsewhere.
