The Cincinnati Reds announced roster cuts, reducing their spring training camp to 42 players, including optioning infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand and right-hander Chase Petty to AAA Louisville. Both players had disappointing 2025 seasons, with Encarnacion-Strand struggling at the big league level before being overshadowed by new acquisitions and emerging prospects. Petty faced significant challenges, posting a high ERA in limited big league appearances and struggling further in AAA. Despite their setbacks, both players remain viewed as potential contributors in the future.
