The Reds outrighted Joe to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Joe had been demoted to Triple-A on Aug. 2, when the Reds cleared room on the active roster for trade-deadline pickup Miguel Andujar. Since that date, Joe had slashed a lowly .200/.344/.300 over 17 games with Louisville, which likely took him out of consideration for a September call-up. He's now lost his spot on the 40-man roster and will have the ability to elect free agency.

The Reds optioned Joe to Triple-A Louisville following Friday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Miguel Andujar, who was acquired by the Reds from the Athletics on Thursday. Joe has appeared in 35 games for the Reds since being traded by the Padres in early May and has slashed .213/.286/.279 with two steals and four RBI in 70 plate appearances. He should have an everyday role in the outfield in Triple-A.

The Reds activated Joe (illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Joe was shelved for nearly two weeks while dealing with a bout of hand, foot and mouth disease. He's ready to go after a brief rehab assignment and should resume his role as a short-side platoon bat.

Joe (illness) started at first base and went 0-for-3 for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Joe played five innings for the Bats in what was the start of a rehab assignment. He can be activated at any time, but Joe would have a depth role if the Reds bring him back to the majors.

The Reds placed Joe on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to hand, foot and mouth disease.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed-hitting Joe had played fairly consistently against left-handed pitching since getting called up from Triple-A Louisville on May 10, so his bout with the illness helps explain why he was left out of the lineup against southpaw Carlos Rodon during Tuesday's 5-4 win. Joe's IL placement is retroactive to Sunday, but it's not clear if he'll be fully recovered from the ailment when he's first eligible to return July 2.

Joe will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Joe has settled into a short-side platoon role for the Reds since joining the team May 10 and will enter the lineup for the series finale while the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the bump. Over his first 16 games with Cincinnati, Joe is slashing .278/.308/.361 with no home runs, one stolen base, three RBI and one run.

Joe started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
In his Cincinnati debut, Joe got the start in left field over Austin Hays, who recently returned from the injured list and is being brought back on a slower pace. Joe was acquired him from the Padres on Friday and was added to the 26-man roster this weekend along with Will Benson (lefty), giving the Reds a potential platoon in right field in place of the injured Jake Fraley (calf).

The Reds recalled Joe from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
A day after joining the Reds organization via a trade with San Diego, Joe will now return to the majors to provide some depth to Cincinnati's outfield while Jake Fraley (calf) is on the injured list. Joe is still searching for his first big-league hit of the season after going 0-for-9 in seven games with the Padres.

The Padres traded Joe to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Andrew Moore and cash.
EDGE Analysis
San Diego sent Joe back to Triple-A Saturday after he went 0-for-9 with a walk in seven games with the Padres. He's performed better in the minors, however, logging a .755 OPS through 74 plate appearances at El Paso. He'll likely remain in the minors upon joining his new organization, though he could be recalled to Cincinnati if Jake Fraley's calf injury forces him onto the injured list. Tyler Callihan (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Padres are optioning Joe to Triple-A El Paso, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joe joined the big-league squad after being called up from El Paso on April 14, but he's played sporadically since then, logging just 10 plate appearances while serving mostly as a pinch hitter. The versatile veteran went 0-for-9 with one walk and six strikeouts while with San Diego. Per Acee, Luis Campusano is with the Padres in Pittsburgh, and it's likely he'll take Joe's spot on the roster.
