The Reds reinstated right-hander Pierce Johnson from the injured list and selected Julian Garcia to the roster, leading to the designation of Chris Paddack for assignment and the optioning of Zach Maxwell. Paddack, acquired in May after being released by the Marlins, made six appearances for Cincinnati but struggled, posting a 6.04 ERA. With a history of injuries and declining performance, he now faces DFA limbo, likely heading to the open market. Several teams may consider him for a back-end starter role despite his recent inefficacy.
