Turner was released by the Reds on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner cracked the majors in 2017 and appeared in 37 games but had a paltry .426 OPS for the Reds. The 27-year-old spent last season at Triple-A Louisville but slashed .200/.265/.213 in only 22 games.

Turner cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville.
EDGE Analysis
Turner reached the majors for the first time last season, hitting a very weak .134/.182/.244 in 37 games. He'll remain minor-league depth for the Reds this season.

Turner was designated for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds signed Yovani Gallardo to a big-league deal, so they needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Turner will likely pass through waivers and provide organizational catching depth at Triple-A Louisville.

Turner was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He was never expected to beat out Tucker Barnhart or Devin Mesoraco for one of the catching spots on the Opening Day roster. Turner will serve as organizational depth this season and could see time in the majors, particularly given Mesoraco's injury history.

Turner is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had made three straight starts behind the plate, but will give way to Chad Wallach for the series finale. With Tucker Barnhart returning from the paternity list Sunday, Turner is likely to see an immediate decline in playing time.

Turner was reinstated from the paternity list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner is back with the Reds after missing three games over the weekend while attending the birth of his child. He'll continue to serve as Tucker Barnhart's backup behind the dish while Devin Mesoraco (foot) remains sidelined. Chad Wallach was sent back to Triple-A Louisville to clear room.

Turner was placed on the paternity list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Turner has landed on the paternity list and will likely return to the team Tuesday after Cincinnati's series against the Pirates. With Turner unavailable, Tucker Barnhart or Chad Wallach will start behind the dish for the Reds.

Turner will go on paternity leave following Thursday's game against the Cubs, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher will miss anywhere from one-to-three games while awaiting the birth of his child. Turner is not in the starting nine for Thursday's series finale, but will be available off the bench. With a scheduled off day coming at the end of this weekend's three-game set against Pittsburgh, Turner will likely be away from the team until Tuesday.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's fifth-inning home run was the first of his career. This was the little-used backup catcher's first start since July 18 and his .167/.217/.238 line coming in suggests this effort won't be enough to earn more playing time.

Turner has two hits and two walks in only 12 plate appearances since the start of July.
EDGE Analysis
Turner hasn't made a start since July 18 and is utilized sparingly as a pinch hitter. The 25-year-old saw infrequent starts with Devin Mesoraco injured to start the season, but is only slashing .171/.222/.244 in 45 plate appearances this season. Turner doesn't sniff enough playing time to currently warrant fantasy consideration.
