The Reds selected La Sorsa's contract on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.
EDGE Analysis
La Sorsa had an upward mobility clause in his minor-league contract, and the Reds have decided to keep him around rather than risk losing him to another organization. The left-handed reliever has posted a 3.92 ERA and 14:14 K:BB over 20.2 innings this season with Louisville.

The Reds reassigned La Sorsa to minor-league camp Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie's Chalkboard reports.
EDGE Analysis
La Sorsa tossed six scoreless innings and has displayed a major bump up in velocity this spring, sitting in the mid-90s after he averaged 90.7 mph during the 2024 season. It wasn't enough to make the Opening Day roster, but the lefty gives the Reds some relief depth at Triple-A Louisville.

La Sorsa (illness) struck out two batters in a perfect inning of relief in Monday's 5-4 win over the Brewers in Cactus League play.
EDGE Analysis
La Sorsa wasn't available for the start of spring training while recovering from an illness, which put him behind the other relievers competing for a spot in the Reds' Opening Day bullpen. After moving past the ailment and completing his throwing progression, La Sorsa finally got the chance to make his Cactus League debut earlier this week and came through with an impressive outing. The southpaw is attending camp as a non-roster invitee, so he'll likely need to string together a few more strong performances to build a more serious case for a bullpen job with the Reds.
