The Reds outrighted Busenitz to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Busenitz passed through waivers after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization for now. He has allowed seven runs (six earned) over four innings during his brief time with the Reds in 2024.

The Reds designated Busenitz for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cincinnati needed to make room for Hunter Greene's (elbow) return from the 15-day injured list, and Busenitz was the roster casualty. He was previously DFA'd in August and passed through waivers unclaimed, and that will likely happen again this time around, given the 34-year-old's struggles in limited action in the majors this season (13.50 ERA, 2.25 WHIP in four innings).

The Reds selected Busenitz's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll give the Reds a fresh relief arm after the bullpen needed to cover five innings Thursday against Atlanta. Busenitz gave up four runs (three earned) in one inning of work in his lone appearance with the big club in 2024.

The Reds outrighted Busenitz to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Since he's already been outrighted previously, Busenitz had the ability to elect free agency, but he'll instead remain in the Reds organization as a depth arm at Louisville. Over 41 appearances (two starts) with Louisville this season, Busenitz has turned in a 3.79 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 53:18 K:BB across 57 innings.

The Reds designated Busenitz for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Busenitz is on his way out just one day after having his contract selected by the Reds. In his one inning of relief against the Pirates on Friday, he gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits. Across his 41 outings in Triple-A this season, Busenitz has a 3.79 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 57 innings. Casey Kelly had his contract selected by Cincinnati from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Reds selected Busenitz's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Busenitz had a cup of coffee with the Reds in 2023 but has spent all of 2024 at Louisville, collecting a 3.79 ERA and 53:18 K:BB over 57 innings. The 34-year-old will likely operate in middle relief, although he could work as a bulk reliever behind an opener to fill the rotation spot of Andrew Abbott (shoulder) after Busenitz was stretched out to four innings and 45 pitches in his last appearance for Louisville on Aug. 17.

Busenitz signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Busenitz spent the 2023 season in the Cincinnati organization, pitching primarily with Triple-A Louisville. He posted a 4.94 ERA and 1.49 WHIP at that level and is likely to be organizational depth again in 2024.

Busenitz cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Busenitz pitched well during his brief time with the Reds this season, posting a 2.57 ERA in six appearances, in what was his first big-league action in five years. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization.

Busenitz struck out two over two perfect innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals after the Reds selected his contract from Triple-A Louisville prior to the contest.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds optioned Carson Spiers to the minors to open up a spot on 28-man active roster for Busenitz ahead of the season finale. Busenitz thus closes the season with a spot on the Reds' 40-man roster, though he may find himself on the chopping block once Cincinnati reinstates players from the 60-day injured list over the offseason. The 33-year-old right-hander made six relief appearances at the big-league level in 2023, posting a 2.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across seven innings.

Busenitz was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, per the MLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Busenitz was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday, and after failing to draw interest on the waiver wire, he'll see action with the Bats. The right-hander owns a 4.53 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 41 strikeouts over 43.2 frames this season at Triple-A.
