Miguel Cairo is joining the Reds' front office. Cairo will operate as a special assistant to GM Walt Jocketty. The veteran infielder had hoped to continue his playing career this season but struggled to attract any interest after batting just .187/.212/.280 in 2012. Cairo collected 1,044 hits during his 17-year MLB career.

Miguel Cairo, who replaced Joey Votto in the fifth inning, delivered a clutch RBI single that would stand as the winning run in the Reds 2-1 victory over the Giants on Saturday. Cairo finished the day 1-for-2. He is hitting just .140 with four RBI on the year, and doesn't merit consideration in even the deepest of fantasy formats. Still, it was a very nice night for the veteran infielder who stepped up and provided a critical hit in Votto's absence.

Reds activated INF Miguel Cairo from the 15-day disabled list. Cairo went 0-for-10 during his recent rehab assignment, but his hamstring is back to full health. The 38-year-old infielder is 1-for-9 (.111) in four games with the Reds this season.

Miguel Cairo (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday at Low-A Dayton. Cairo should be cleared to join the Reds after three or four rehab games. The veteran infielder has been on the disabled list since April 15 with a strained hamstring.

Miguel Cairo (hamstring) will go on a rehab assignment before returning. There was some thought that the veteran would be activated on Tuesday, but the Reds will have him play a few games before returning. The Reds have a six-game road trip starting Friday, and he seems likely to join the team then unless he has a setback.

Reds placed INF Miguel Cairo on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 15, with a strained left hamstring. Cairo strained his left hamstring in Saturday's game. There's a good chance he'll ready to return right around when his 15 days are up. The 38-year-old is 1-for-9 in four games this season.

Miguel Cairo was removed from Saturday's game after doubling and scoring a run in the second inning. Wilson Valdez has taken his place at third base. We're still awaiting word on the injury and Cairo's status.

Miguel Cairo underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Friday. He has appeared in just nine games this month due to the injury. Cairo, 37, batted .265/.330/.412 with eight homers, 33 RBI and a .742 OPS over 276 plate appearances this season. The veteran utility man is under contract for $1 million next season.

Miguel Cairo returned to action on Monday September 19.

Miguel Cairo is nursing a shoulder injury. Cairo has started just one game over the last week, but that's nothing new for the veteran utilityman. Consider him day-to-day.
