GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- In the past two days, the Reds have claimed two former Pirates right-handed pitchers, Lisalverto Bonilla and Nefi Ogando, off the waiver wire. Both were immediately added to the mix Wednesday to compete for spots.
Bonilla will be stretched out this spring as a starter.
"We're undefined in the four and five spots in the rotation," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We're undefined in at least two bullpen spots, in my opinion. We see him competing for both, a middle relief and potentially a starting spot."
Bonilla last pitched in the big leagues with the Rangers in 2014.
