Reds Send Five Players to Minors






The Reds optioned RHP Curtis Partch, RHP Pedro Villarreal,  IF Henry Rodriguez and IF Neftali Soto to Triple-A Louisville.

1B/OF Donald Lutz was optioned to Double-A Pensacola.

The Reds spring training roster is down to 39 players, including 11 non-roster invitees.

LHP Wilkin De La Rosa, RHP Armando Galarraga, RHP Drew Hayes, RHP Clay Hensley, C Corky Miller, C Miguel Olivo, IF Emmanuel Burris, IF Cesar Izturis, OF Billy Hamilton, OF Denis Phipps and OF Derrick Robinson are all non-roster invitees, who are still in the major league camp.

  1. Does that mean that the official 40 man roster is a player short and somebody else will be added?

  2. I just amended the post to make it clear. There are still 40 players on the 40-man roster. Some players on the 40-man have been optioned. There are 39 players left in the major league camp but 11 or them are non-roster invitees.
