The Reds acquired Minor (shoulder) and cash from the Royals on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Amir Garrett.

EDGE Analysis

Minor spent the final few weeks of the 2021 campaign on the injured list due to left shoulder impingement syndrome, and it's not yet clear whether he has any limitations to begin spring training. The southpaw returned to the Royals in 2021 and posted a 5.05 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 158.2 innings across 28 appearances. Assuming he's healthy to begin the regular season, the 34-year-old should begin 2022 as a member of the Reds' starting rotation.
