Spiers, who opened the 2025 season in the Reds rotation in place of late-starting Andrew Abbott, was shut down in late April because of a shoulder impingement and then during his rehab process developed an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. He finished the season on the 60-day injured list.
Spiers gave up nine earned runs in 13 1/3 innings across two starts and a relief appearances before going on the injured list. He’s 5-10 with a 5.69 ERA in 29 career games, including 14 starts, over parts of three seasons.
