This weekend the Cincinnati Reds plan on activating Homer Bailey from the DL. Adleman didn’t get his first start until the trio of Bailey, Anthony DeSclafani and Brandon Finnegan all landed on the DL. In the interim Adleman has overtaken rookie Amir Garrett as the ace of the team.
In that time, Adleman has started 12 games, going 4-4. Only Scott Feldman has a better ERA among starters for the Reds than Tim Adleman. Bronson Arroyo and Feldman both have more total innings, but only Feldman averages more per start among Reds’ pitchers than Adleman.
Feldman may have the better WHIP, but the batting average against Adleman is the lowest among any starter.
