August 25, 2025 9:15 AM : Reds manager Terry Francona said that Burns (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Analysis: Burns will throw off the mound for the first time since he was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 15 due to a Grade 1 right flexor strain. The rookie lacks a clear timeline to return from the IL, but the Reds could accelerate his activation if they elect to bring him back as a reliever.
