The Reds needed to clear one more roster spot.
Fred Lewis was not claimed on waivers. The Reds sent him outright to Louisville.
"We needed the roster spot," Dusty Baker said. "You hate to have to tell somebody things like that. Things just didn't work out the second half of the season."
Jeremy Hemida was claimed by the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
"We hated to lose him but he gets a chance to get back to the big leagues," Baker said.
The roster spots were used to put Devin Mesoraco on the 40-man roster to allow him to make his Major League debut. Jared Burton was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and also required a roster spot.
