The Cincinnati Reds announced late on Tuesday night, just after the win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, that they had acquired right-handed reliever Justin Miller from the Toronto Blue Jays. Cincinnati sent the Blue Jays international pool cap money in return.
Justin Miller has not pitched in the Major Leagues this season. The now 33-year-old signed with the Blue Jays on a minor league deal before the season began. The right-handed reliever pitched in parts of three sesaons in the Major Leagues from 2014-2016 with the Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies. He spent the entirety of the 2017 season in Triple-A before pitching in 2018 and 2019 with the Washington Nationals, making 68 appearances and throwing 68.
