The Reds designated OF/1B Peter O'Brien for assignment.

Anir Garrett was placed on the 10-day list with inflammation in his right hip.

"Amir exascerbated his hip in his last start on Monday," Price said. "It wasn't a cause for concern but we sent him to see Dr. Kremchek and have an MRI.  He will miss one start but the time after that he should be ready."

"Jake pitched against us before," Price said.  "He fits in our mix as  a starter and length reliever."

Buchanen beat the Reds with five scoreless innings on September 30 last season.
