  • Rehab moved to St. Paul
    Winder (shoulder) is continuing his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reported Tuesday.

    Advice: Winder's rehab stint began with Low-A Fort Myers on April 30, and despite allowing four runs in 3.2 innings at Low-A, he'll be brought over to St. Paul to continue his recovery. Even though he's set to return in late May or early June, Winder isn't guaranteed a big-league roster spot, so he'll likely need to show better at Triple-A. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Confirmed for start Wednesday
    Bido will start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bido has earned a look after collecting a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas this season. With Joe Boyle (back) landing on the 15-day injured list, it's possible Bido will be asked to make additional starts for Oakland. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Works in relief Sunday
    Winckowski made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins, tossing one inning and allowing one run on two hits.

    Advice: Winckowski worked as a starter in each of his prior three outings, but his usage out of the bullpen to close out the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) due to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and with Brayan Bello (lat) perhaps being activated from the IL as soon as Sunday. Over his three starts, Winckowski delivered a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, but he never covered more than 4.1 innings in any outing and thus missed out on qualifying for a win on any occasion.

  • Getting day off
    Winn is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: It's a day off for Winn, who is just 4-for-28 at the dish over his last eight games. Brandon Crawford will get the start at shortstop for the Cardinals against the Mets' Jose Butto. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Transferred to 60-day IL
    Gibaut (forearm) was moved to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Gibaut was shut down from throwing late in April due to lingering issues with his strained right forearm and has now been put on the 60-day IL. He's consistently had his timetable for return pushed back after being said to be questionable for Opening Day in early March. Now, he'll have plenty of time for rehab before likely coming back in July or August. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Shifts back to bullpen
    Anderson made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Twins, covering two scoreless innings while giving up one hit and one walk and striking out one.

    Advice: Anderson made a spot start April 25 in Cleveland, but his relief appearance over the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday in Atlanta. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • 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 17 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 19 minutes ago
     
  • Activated ahead of Tuesday's start
    The Reds activated Montas (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Montas is set to rejoin the rotation Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks after missing the last two weeks with a bruised right forearm. The Reds have opted to bring him back without a rehab start, as Montas evidently looked good enough in a couple bullpen sessions to convince the team he was ready. Because of that, he might not be be able to handle a full workload. That, combined with his uneven performance before the injury, makes Montas an iffy fantasy start Tuesday.
