The Reds asked waivers on Wandy Peralta and the San Francisco Giants claimed him; The same Giants who released former Red Scooter Gennett last month.
Peralta was having a bad year. He had a good April, starting the season with nine straight scoreless outings. He gave up one run in his 10th appearance but had three straight scoreless outings, taking him to the end of April. It was downhill from there he spent two tours in Louisville and allowed six runs in his last four appearances.
It leaves the Reds with one left hander in the bullpen.
"It's nice to have a balance but we want to have the best bullpen. We want guys that get both sides out," David Bell said. "Wandy has a great arm. He was a great teammate. He wants to be good, not only for himself but for his team. Sometimes he tried so hard."
Kyle Farmer, the Reds' third catcher is out with a strained oblique but the Reds expect him back before the season ends. They activated Juan Graterol, who will now be the third catcher. He had been in concussion protocol. He had to be cleared by Major League Baseball.
Nick Senzel has a sore throwing shoulder. He threw yesterday. He will only be available to pinch run.
Jesse Winker will not go on the Reds' road trip. He will stay behind to get the soreness out of his aching shoulder.
