Roansy Contreras Designated For Assignment
5 hours agoAccording to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Reds have designated right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for Gavin Lux who was acquired via a trade on Monday evening. Contreras was claimed by the Reds earlier this offseason but will now be placed waivers once again. Contreras logged 68 1/3 innings in the majors with Pittsburgh and Los Angeles last season. In this stint, he posted a 4.35 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. Under the hood he generated a poor 9.7% barrel rate and a 43.5% hard-hit rate with an underwhelming 18.8% K rate. The 25-year-old would likely open the 2025 season at Triple-A, if he is not claimed by another club.
