Junis and outfielder Joey Wiemer were traded to the Reds in exchange for right-handed starter Frankie Montas on Monday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Junis has been used primarily as a relief pitcher with the Brewers in 2024, producing an impressive 2.42 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 26 innings in 10 appearances, including a start. The right-hander may be asked to replace Montas in Cincinnati's rotation, though considering how effective he's been out of the bullpen, he seems more likely to remain a reliever for the stretch run.
