Brandon Finnegan

Reds pull Brandon Finnegan after only one inning on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Finnegan was forced to leave Saturday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers after just one inning due to an apparent injury.

What It Means:

Finnegan walked the first two batters of the game on only nine pitches and both runners came around to score. Finnegan was replaced by Robert Stephenson in the second inning, but there has been no word yet on what exactly forced Finnegan from the game.

Assuming he doesn't miss any starts, our models project Finnegan for a 4.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 126 strikeouts over 164 innings remaining this season.
