CBS Sports Gives Cincinnati Reds 'C' Grade on Midseason Report Card
CINCINNATI — The Reds are 37-43 so far this season. CBS Sports shared their midseason grades for all 32 MLB teams.
Cincinnati was in the middle of the pack, earning a "C" grade.
"The front of the rotation has been a real strength for Cincy this season," Dayn Perry wrote. "While some of the shine has come off Elly De La Cruz's hot start, he's still providing significant value. It's been a middling season for the Reds so far, but that's enough for relevance in the senior circuit."
The Reds start a four-game series with the Cardinals on Thursday at 7:45 p.m. ET. Check out CBS Sports' entire midseason report card here.
