Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Reds have signed free agent reliever Michael Wuertz. He figures to be assigned to Triple-A Louisville initially but could help out the Reds in short order. Wuertz held a 6.68 ERA in 33 2/3 innings last year for the A's, but he was one of the best set-up men in the game just a couple of years ago.
