Reds Claim Franklin German Off Waivers From White Sox
2 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds claimed right-hander Franklin German off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville. German was recently designated for assignment by Chicago after not playing a single major-league game for them in 2023. The 25-year-old made his big-league debut for the Boston Red Sox in 2022 and allowed eight runs on seven hits (two home runs) while walking four and striking out four in four innings over five relief appearances. He had recorded 16 strikeouts in 11 1/3 innings at Triple-A Charlotte before being cut by the White Sox, but he also had nine walks and an ERA north of 7.00. German will operate as relief depth in Cincinnati.
