Jonathan Broxton (hand) is available Tuesday night. Broxton was hit in the right hand by a Nate Schierholtz comebacker on Monday night, but X-rays turned up negative. "I'm fine," he told reporters Tuesday afternoon.

An X-ray on Jonathan Broxton's right hand came back negative. Broxton couldn't avoid Nate Schierholtz's liner Monday, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The setup man can probably safely be considered day-to-day.

Jonathan Broxton left Monday's game after being hit on the right hand/wrist with a line drive. The Reds will update his status shortly, but he'll surely be sent for X-rays. Logan Ondrusek came into the game to replace Broxton.

Jonathan Broxton was lit up for six runs in two-thirds of an inning by the Pirates on Sunday. Broxton's three-year, $21 million contract looked bad the moment it was sign and then got a whole lot worse when the Reds decided to put Aroldis Chapman back in the pen. Broxton has an 11.57 ERA and has already taken two blown saves as a setup man.

The Reds are moving Aroldis Chapman back to the bullpen, making Jonathan Broxton a setup man. It's a tough blow for fantasy owners who have already taken Broxton in drafts. And it makes the Reds' three-year, $21 million deal with Broxton seam rather silly.

Reds signed RHP Jonathan Broxton to a three-year, $21 million contract with a club option for 2016. The deal is now official. Per Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the guarantee would jump to $22 million in the event that Broxton is traded, as his option would become a mutual option while the buyout would increase from $1 million to $2 million. It's a pretty nice chunk of change for the 28-year-old right-hander, who made his way back from elbow problems to post a 2.48 ERA over 58 innings this past season between the Royals and Reds. While it's a red flag that he's not missing as many bats these days, the current plan is to use him in the closer role next season while Aroldis Chapman into the starting rotation.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Jonathan Broxton's deal with the Reds is worth $21 million over three years. The deal also includes a $9 million club option for 2013. He'll make $4 million next season, $7 million in 2014 and $9 million in 2015 while the option includes a $1 million buyout. Broxton likely has Brandon League (and well, the Dodgers) to thank for his nice little payday. The expectation is that he'll move into the closer role next season while Aroldis Chapman will get a shot in the starting rotation.

CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman reports that the Reds and Jonathan Broxton have come to terms on a multiyear deal. The contract, which will be announced Wednesday, is expected to take Broxton through at least 2015. One imagines he'll get Brandon League money -- $7.5 million per year -- making this a risky deal. Broxton's stuff isn't what it once was, and he struck out just seven batters per nine innings last year after ranging from 10.5 to 13.5 in his first five years in the league. The Reds will certainly be downgrading in the closer's role if they in fact move Aroldis Chapman to the rotation, though it may pay off in the end.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Reds are in "serious" talks with Jonathan Broxton regarding a multi-year deal.

Reds manager Dusty Baker said Jonathan Broxton is his "No. 1 candidate" to close while Aroldis Chapman (shoulder) is resting, but he'll also look at matchups. Broxton closed out the Reds' win Tuesday and is the guy in Cincy to own for saves until Chapman is ready. Sean Marshall is worth owning in deeper leagues. "[Broxton] is the No. 1 candidate. But it's matchups, too," Baker said. "If they have three lefties, it could be Marshall. It could be Broxton, it could be [Jose] Arredondo, it could be [J.J.] Hoover. Broxton is the No. 1 choice. We try to limit Broxton to two days in a row, too."
