Satin was reassigned to minor league camp Monday. Satin had been a likely candidate to begin the season in the minors, but he was receiving some game action earlier in the spring while Joey Votto nursed a wrist injury. The 30-year-old struggled in the majors last season, collecting just three hits in 35 at bats, and will likely begin the 2015 season in Triple-A.

Satin will start at first base for the Reds' first spring training game, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Joey Votto isn't quite 'game-ready' so Satin, who is recovering from a wrist injury, will get the nod.

Satin (wrist) signed a minor league contract with the Reds on Thursday. A fractured wrist ended Satin's 2014 season and ultimately his seven-year tenure with the Mets as well, as the team removed him from its 40-man roster late last month. Satin, a .294/.394/.444 career hitter at the Triple-A level, can play first base, second and third, but it will likely take several injuries to Reds starters for him to get a chance with the big club in 2015.

Satin was outrighted off the 40-man roster by the Mets on Friday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports. Satin decided to become a free agent rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas. He is now officially a free agent and will have the opportunity to sign where he likes in the offseason.

A recent X-ray and MRI revealed a fracture in Satin's wrist, which will end his season and force him to idle for six weeks. With the emergence of Lucas Duda and a lost year at the plate (3 hits in 35 at-bats), Satin will be hard-pressed to get starts in 2015. That isn't to mention the disastrous effect injuries near the wrist can have on power hitters. Satin's strong 2013 season is still there, but Duda is younger and his 2014 was better.

Satin will be promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas with the rosters expanding Monday, ESPN New York reports. Satin gives the Mets another righty bat off the bench.

Mets optioned INF Josh Satin to Triple-A Las Vegas. The move doesn't come as a major surprise, as Satin was hitting a brutal .107/.265/.179 through 28 at-bats with the team. He'll continue to serve as additional depth in the minor leagues.

Josh Satin delivered a walk-off two-run single to cap a four-run ninth inning for the Mets, as they rallied to beat the Giants 5-4 on Wednesday. Satin had already tallied a sacrifice fly earlier in the game, and his bases-loaded single off Giants closer Sergio Romo gave the Mets the win. The runs batted in were his first since August 21. In 176 at-bats this year, the 28-year-old is batting .284/.380/.398.

Josh Satin doubled twice Monday in the Mets' loss to the Braves at Atlanta's Turner Field. Satin is now batting .297 with an .841 OPS in 55 games this season for New York. He should continue to get regular playing time against lefties down the stretch.

Josh Satin went 2-for-4 and hit his second homer Wednesday against the Braves. With a .303 average and 24 walks in 122 at-bats, Satin has been a big asset at the plate so far. Still, he doesn't have the power one wants from a third baseman and he's not an asset defensively anywhere else. He'll continue to start mostly against lefties for now.
