The Cincinnati Reds have made roster cuts ahead of their trip to face the San Francisco Giants, optioning right-handed pitchers Julian Aguiar and Jose Franco, shortstop Edwin Arroyo, and outfielder Hector Rodriguez to AAA Louisville, while infielder Leo Balcazar was sent to AA Chattanooga. Notably, Aguiar and Franco are now out of contention for the team’s Opening Day starting rotation. Arroyo is currently with Team Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic, and Rodriguez will have another chance at AAA. Meanwhile, players like Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Rece Hinds remain in big league camp despite the competition for roster spots.
