The Cincinnati Reds announced that outfielder Will Benson has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville after being designated for assignment due to Hunter Greene‘s return from the injured list. Benson, who has over three years of service time, opted not to elect free agency despite struggling offensively since 2024, posting a .200/.279/.390 batting line. He will attempt to regain his form in the minors, with the potential to become a free agent if not re-added to the roster by season’s end.
