Optioned to AAA Louisville: RHRP J.J. Hoover, OF Scott Schebler
---Schebler was hitting just .188 with 20 K's in 64 at bats for the Reds. James Allen Hoover had allowed 17 ER's in 10 2/3 innings, opponents were hitting .373 against him.
Purchased from AAA Louisville: RHRP Steve Delabar
---Delabar had 2 very successful MLB seasons in 2012 and 2013 with SEA and TOR but struggled mightily the past 2 years. One could argue he didn't deserve to have his contract purchased either, since he walked 11 in 12 AAA innings this season, but the Reds shelves are fairly empty right now.
Recalled to Cincinnati from AAA Louisville: RHRP Drew Hayes, OF Kyle Waldrop
---Hayes struggled in his first callup earlier this year but Hoover's performance forced the Reds to make a move. Waldrop was struggling to hit in AAA but Schebler's performance for the Reds also forced them to make a move.
Transferred to 60 Day DL from 15 Day DL: C Devin Mesoraco
---Devin is probably done for the year.
Placed on MLB Cincinnati 15 Day DL: RHSP Jon Moscot
---Moscot is dealing with some scar tissue causing irritation on his surgically repaired shoulder.

Optioned to AAA Louisville: OF/1B Kyle Waldrop
---Waldrop becomes the latest player to be called up and sent back down without getting into a game. With Waldrop returning to AAA, Scott Schebler could see a lot of action in CF there w/ Winker and Waldrop on his sides and former Florida Gator Bryson Smith being moved to a reserve role.
Recalled to Cincinnati from AAA Louisville: RHRP Layne Somsen
---This will be Layne's second stint with the Reds this year, though he didn't appear in a game the first time up - so he'll be looking to make his major league debut; as the Reds carry an 8 man bullpen.
Promoted to AAA Louisville from AA Pensacola: RHSP/RP Daniel Wright
---In his second stint at AA Pensacola, Wright allowed 1 earned run in 20 innings pitched. If he fares well in AAA it wouldn't be unlikely the 2013 Reds draftee sees action in Cincinnati later this year.

Placed on AA Pensacola 7 Day DL: OF Beau Amaral
Placed on A Dayton 7 Day DL: OF Narciso Crook
Promoted to A Dayton from RK Billings: OF Reydel Medina

Assigned to AA Pensacola from Reds Extended Spring Training: RHRP Jimmy Moran

Activated from A+ Daytona 7 Day DL: LHRP Nolan Becker, IF Angelo Gumbs
Demoted to RK Billings from A Dayton: OF Jose Siri
---Siri was hitting just .145 with Dayton, and they needed to open a roster spot for LaValley.

Released: OF Dalton Carter, RHRP Ty Sterner
---Without knowing the particular circumstances, it's somewhat surprising to see the Reds release the 21 year old outfielder, he had shown progress defensively and offensively in RK ball last year. The Reds drafted Carter in the 17th round of the 2013 draft out of a Georgia state high-school, awarding him a 100,000$ signing bonus. He has hit .231 - .314 - .375 in 98 career minor league games. He had been on RK Billing's Active Roster and had yet to play this season.
---The 23 year old Sterner was drafted by the Reds in the 23rd round of the 2014 draft out of the University of Rhode Island. He saw action in 41 games for Reds minor league affiliates prior to his release (59 IP - 62 H - 39 BB - 66 K - 4.73 ERA).

While three cuts after a game is rare, the three accounted for just 25 innings this season and 19 runs. Diaz and Sampson were just called back up to the Reds on Wednesday, lasting four games, before being sent back down. Delabar was called up on May 7, lasting two weeks with the team.
The Reds will make 3 corresponding moves tomorrow.
