  • Sent packing to minors
    The Reds optioned Thompson to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Thompson has been on the Reds' roster since Opening Day but has hardly played, accumulating just 18 plate appearances. He should receive more reps at Louisville. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Reds optioned Martini to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Martini was the Reds' Opening Day designated hitter and hit two home runs that day, but he slashed only .160/.185/.240 in 28 games after that. The 33-year-old had seen his playing time dwindle and it was going to further evaporate with TJ Friedl off the injured list. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Officially activated
    Friedl (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

    Advice: Friedl has been cleared for big-league action after missing the first month and change of the 2024 campaign with a fractured right wrist. His reinstatement aligns with the start of a three-game homestand against the Diamondbacks, where he'll likely replace Stuart Fairchild as the Reds' primary center fielder versus right-handed pitching. In four rehab starts at Triple-A Louisville, Friedl went 4-for-16 (.250) with three doubles, three runs scored and a pair of RBI. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Resumes hitting
    Diaz (calf) has resumed taking batting practice but is not yet running the bases, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran began a light running program in mid-April, but as this latest report indicates, he hasn't progressed to carrying it out fully just yet. The fact Diaz is back to swinging a bat is certainly a positive, however, but he appears to be at least a month away from his season debut given the expected length of the rehab assignment he'll require.

  • Slight setback in recovery
    Andujar has been experiencing some lateral soreness in his surgically repaired right knee after recently beginning to take batting practice, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Manager Mark Kotsay labeled the development a "slight setback" that will slow Andujar's progress briefly. The veteran will eventually need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, so this latest interruption in his recovery could push his potential return into the latter portion of May.

  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Nevin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Nevin started the previous 14 games and posted an .858 OPS during that stretch, though he's now in the midst of an 0-for-14 slump. Brett Harris is starting at third base Tuesday for the fifth straight game, which has resulted in Nevin seeing more action in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am

  • Drives in run in return
    Ruiz (wrist) went 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

    Advice: Ruiz returned after a one-game absence due to a wrist injury he suffered Saturday and was able to contribute an RBI for the third consecutive contest. The 25-year-old outfielder has demonstrated a slight uptick in pop during the first month-plus of the season and appears to have moved past the wrist issue, given he drew the start in left field Monday.

  • Swipes bag Monday
    Tatis went 1-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win against the Cubs.

    Advice: Tatis helped generate San Diego's first run, reaching on a leadoff single in the sixth inning, advancing to second on another single, then taking part in a double steal with Jake Cronenworth before both players scored on a Jurickson Profar hit. Tatis has been somewhat quiet at the plate this season, but he's still been moderately productive with a .248/.327/.442 slash line, seven homers, 20 RBI, 28 runs and five stolen bases through 168 plate appearances. He's gone 7-for-23 with a homer, a steal, six runs and three RBI through the first five games of May. Rotowire.com Today, 9:47 am
     
  • Athletics designate Lazaro Amenteros for assignment
    Athletics designated OF Lazaro Amenteros for assignment.

    Advice: The 24-year-old will hit waivers after a rough start at the minor league level in Las Vegas. Amenteros slashed just .133/.278/.250 with 37 strikeouts in his 72 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 9:36 am
