While the Cincinnati Reds roster is likely to be very fluid in the coming days and weeks. With rosters now expanded to 28 players, the front office made the decision to promote both Alejo Lopez and Delino DeShields to the active roster. Reliever R.J. Alaniz will also join the team on Wednesday as the 29th man for nightcap of the doubleheader.
There was a lot of speculation that that Reds may call up pitchers Hunter Greene or Dauri Moreta, the team instead decided to boost their putrid offense that has struggled recently to dent the plate.
