Reds Recall RHP Zach Maxwell, DFA LHP Kent Emanuel
Cincinnati announced the roster moves, bringing Maxwell up from Triple-A Louisville while Emanuel heads to the DFA wire.
The Cincinnati Reds announced they have recalled right-hander Zach Maxwell from Triple-A Louisville and designated left-hander Kent Emanuel for assignment, per the official Reds account.
Neither Maxwell's specific role nor Emanuel's next destination has been detailed. A player designated for assignment can be outrighted, released, or claimed on waivers — none of those outcomes has been specified.
The bigger picture
The Reds' relief corps has been a work in progress. Ron Marinaccio was designated for assignment earlier this week, and Emilio Pagán has been managing a finger injury, though he was cleared to throw his splitter freely after imaging showed no structural damage. With Hunter Greene having undergone Tommy John surgery and sidelined for the foreseeable future, Cincinnati's pitching decisions carry added weight down the stretch.
Maxwell's opportunity arrives in a bullpen that has seen considerable turnover, and what he does with it remains the open question.
