The Cincinnati Reds were content to wade through last weekend's split-squad action with all invited members still in camp, but with that in the rear-view mirror, the first cuts of Spring Training were destined to fall this week. On Wednesday, the Reds indeed began to clear out the glut in camp, sending 16 of their players to minor league camp - including infielder Dilson Herrera, according to The Enquirer's Zach Buchanan.
Also Keury Mella was cut. Forgot him on my list.

Herrera is the headliner here, but that he is no longer in big league camp shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that it's March 15th already and the shoulder issue that he's fought all spring still hasn't allowed him to begin throwing in games.
