  • Reds option OF Jacob Hurtubise to Triple-A
    Reds optioned OF Jacob Hurtubise to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Hurtubise’s bat never got going in his first taste of the majors. The 26-year-old outfielder hit .185 with no home runs and four RBI in 54 at-bats. He’ll head back to Triple-A, but with his speed he could be interesting if he gets another chance in the majors later this year. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • DFA'd by Reds
    Capel was designated for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Capel went 2-for-8 in five games with the Reds this season, but he'll free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Wynns. Assuming Capel clears waivers, expect him to stick around in Cincinnati's system. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
