The Cincinnati Reds announced earlier today that they have sent six players back to minor league camp in their first set of cuts this spring. The team optioned outfielder Jose Siri, and pitchers Jackson Stephens, Keury Mella, and Jimmy Herget to the minors. Cincinnati also re-assigned pitchers Alex Powers and Felix Jorge to minor league camp. The difference between the wording of the moves is that players on the 40-man must be optioned. Players simply in camp on a minor league invite are re-assigned.
When it comes to a performance in spring training standpoint, one of these guys is not like the others.
