Traded: IF Seth Mejias-Brean (to SEA for Cash $)
---The 26 year old corner infielder has plateaued, hitting .232 - .293 - .310 for the AAA Louisville Bats over the past two seasons. He was initially drafted by the Reds in the 8th round of the 2012 draft out of the University of Arizona. Seattle will control his minor league contract through the 2018 season if they don't release him before then. With Elizalde, Dixon, Renda, etc... the Reds no longer needed his services and he was an eventual release candidate.
This move will open a roster spot in AAA for Amaral who was recently listed as "not to report to RK".
Reassigned to AAA Louisville from RK Billings: OF Beau Amaral
---The Reds minor league affiliates have too many players and not enough roster spots at the moment, they are juggling.
Reinstated to AAA Louisville from 7-Day DL: RHSP Rob Wooten
Placed on AAA Louisville Temporary Inactive List: RHRP Nick Routt

Claimed off Waivers: RHP Jake Buchanan (from CHC)
---Jake "from State Farm" has earned 137 days of major league service since having his contract purchased approximately 36 months ago. The 27-year-old Buchanan has seen time in the Majors each year from 2014-16, tossing a combined 50 1/3 innings of 3.75 ERA ball for the Astros and the Cubs. In that time, he’s averaged just 5.2 K/9 against 3.0 BB/9 with a tepid 88.7 mph average on his sinker, though he’s also generated grounders at an excellent 58.5 percent clip. He was initially drafted by the Astros in the 8th round of the 2010 draft. This past week was the 2nd time he had been DFA'd, and had the Reds (or anyone else) not claimed him he would have had the option to opt out of his contract. The Reds due reserve the right to option him to the minors, though.
Placed on MLB Cincinnati 10-Day DL: LHSP Amir Garrett
---Retroactive to May 24th, right hip inflammation.
Designated for Assignment: 1B/OF Peter O'Brien
---Like Goeddel previously, he has a good chance of going unclaimed.
