Luis Cessa had his turn skipped in the starting rotation last week and now he’s no longer a part of the Cincinnati Reds organization.
Cessa was designated for assignment before Tuesday’s series opener against the New York Mets in a series of pregame roster moves. Reiver Sanmartin was placed on the 15-day injured list with a stress reaction in his left elbow, and the Reds called up Triple-A pitchers Ben Lively and Kevin Herget.
The Reds still owe Cessa the prorated amount of his $2.65 million salary if he’s not claimed off waivers or traded.
