Reds Place Brandon Williamson on 15-Day IL with Shoulder Fatigue

The Cincinnati Reds placed Brandon Williamson on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to left shoulder fatigue following an MRI. Williamson, who is 2-3 with a 6.11 ERA in six starts this season, missed all of last year after 2024 elbow surgery. The move aims to allow the pitcher time to recover while the team recalled reliever Zach Maxwell for depth. The Reds will monitor his progress over the next two weeks to determine a return timeline and evaluate his role in the rotation.
