Reds Roster Moves Are Coming in a Few Minutes Dontrelle Willis to Cincinnati?

Daniel Ray Herrera has been claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers.  Herrera, who was part of the Josh Hamilton trade with Texas, was on the 40-man roster.  His departure opens a spot on the 40-man roster.

Dontrelle Willis was signed to a minor league contract.  He has pitched well at Louisville.

Willis pitched well the first part of spring training but an ankle sprain from stepping on a bat while backing home plate, set him back.

His control suffered and he started the season at Louisville, where he's pitched very well.  Willis has started eight games in which he is 3-1 with a 2.72 ERA.  More telling, he has walked just 14 in 43 innings while striking out 37.

"Dontrelle will be in the mix before this is over," Dusty Baker said two weeks ago.
