GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Reds got closer to their 25-man Opening Day roster by making six cuts Tuesday.
Outfielder Tyler Holt was optioned to Triple-A Louisville, while relievers Drew Hayes, Ryan Mattheus, JC Ramirez and Pedro Villarreal were reassigned to the Minor League camp. Lefty reliever and Rule 5 pick Chris O'Grady has cleared waivers and was offered back to his former club, the Angels. The Reds have three days to decide if they want him back.
Manager Bryan Price revealed that he told outfielder Adam Duvall and utility infielder Ivan De Jesus that they will make the club out of camp.
