Reds Roster Shuffle & Injury Updates | MLB News

0:00It's September 18th, MLB news today starts now. AI powered and always on. Alright, let's talk baseball roster moves. The reds are making some changes as the season winds down. Most notably, Spencer Stier is officially done for the year, landing on the 60-day injured list. This opens up a spot on their 40-man roster. Also heading to the injured list is Reliever Julien Garcia, dealing with some elbow issues. Meanwhile, the team is bringing up Julien Aguiar from Triple A, Louisville. They've also picked up utility man, Oswardo Cabrera, off-wavers from the Yankees. Cabrera was once a highly touted prospect and has shown some offensive promise in the minors, even with limited big league opportunities. Cabrera's a versatile player, able to cover pretty much any position on the field, except catcher. He's a switch hitter with some power, and this seems like a low-risk move for the reds to see what he can do in these final games. It's a chance for him to get some real playing time at the major league level. The news about Garcia's elbow is a bit concerning,

1:02especially considering what happened with Hunter Green earlier this year. Garcia's procedure means he'll have the whole off-season to recover before spring training, which is a silver lining. Aguiar, who also had Tommy John's surgery, is set to pitch out of the bullpen soon. Aguiar's had a mixed season in the minors, but he's been at the big league level before. He'll be joining Chase Burns in the bullpen for an upcoming game. These moves are all about shuffling the deck for the last stretch of games, and looking ahead to next season.
