The Reds placed Connor Joe on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 22 with hand, foot and mouth disease.
The Reds recalled Ryan Vilade, who the Reds claimed from the St. Louis Cardinals on June 14.
Vilade plays the corner outfield and first base. He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the second round in 2017 from Stillwater High School in Oklahoma. He broke in with the Rockies in 2021 but has only 27 games in the Big Leagues for Colorado, the Detroit Tigers last season and the Cardinals for five games this season.
Vilade had one hit in 13 at bats for St. Louis this season.
Garret Hampson was designated for assignment on Monday to make room for Chase Burns. The Cardinals claimed him and designated former Red, Jose Barrero for assignment.
The Reds designated Jeimer Candelario for assignment on Monday. Candelario is owed $22 million by the Reds.
"It was a tough decision. He's a great guy," President of baseball operations Nick Krall said. "We thought he was going to come in and be our everyday third baseman. It just didn't work out. He put up a stretch with good numbers last year. This year he struggled in spring training, struggled out of the gate and went to the IL. We felt it was the best chance to win by keeping the guys we have instead of activating him."
