Reds Outright Rookie Davis

By Steve Adams | August 27, 2018 at 3:39pm CDT

The Reds announced Monday that they’ve reinstated right-hander Rookie Davis from the 60-day disabled list and outrighted him to Triple-A Louisville after he cleared waivers. He’ll remain in the organization but won’t require a 40-man roster spot even though he’s now off the disabled list.

Davis, 25, underwent hip surgery last October and has been on the disabled list all season as he recovered from that procedure. The right-hander was one of the four players Cincinnati acquired for Aroldis Chapman in the 2015-16 offseason. None of the other three — Eric Jagielo (Marlins), Tony Renda (Red Sox) or Caleb Cotham (retired) — are with the organization any longer.

Cincinnati gave Davis a look in the Majors last season but saw him struggle to an 8.63 RA with a 20-to-14 K/BB ratio in 24 innings. He posted a 4.77 ERA with a much more solid 54-to-13 K/BB ratio in 60 1/3 Triple-A innings last year before undergoing surgery and has a 6.49 ERA in 26 1/3 rehab innings across three minor league levels this season as he’s worked his way back from that hip procedure.

      he had a lot of injuries and could still make it back.

    That’s the kinda trade the reds make. Hold onto guys way too long or until they HAVE to move someone and neither spell good results

      Yup. Did it with Cueto, Leake, almost did it again with Cozart and then when they tried to trade him no one was interested in a rental shortstop. Reds FO has no clue what they are doing.
      What they should have done was have a 1998 Marlins-esque fire-sale after the 2014 season.

        That’s a fine theory except they got a very good return for Cueto and Leake. Yes, the prospects may not have worked out in the Cueto trade, but Finnegan was around a top 50 prospect when he was acquired. Adam Duvall from the Leake deal also worked very well and Keury Mella from that deal make as well.

        The Reds have made a few mistakes along this rebuild, but they have had quite a few successes as well. Everyone rolled their eyes when the Reds traded Todd Frazier for a “bad return” and now all three players (Peraza, Schebler, Dixon) from that deal are on the big league roster and two are starters. They turned Mat Latos into their current ace, Anthony DeSclafani and turned Alfredo Simon into a potential superstar in Eugenio Suarez. There is no guarantee that a 2014 fire sale would have worked out any better than that.

      They didn’t wait to long on Chapman.

        But they did trade him when his value was at its absolute lowest

          They should of waited until after his suspension was over and moved him at the July 31st trade deadline like the Yankees did.

      Selling another major piece received in deal for cash: Eric Jagielo (they drafted Jagielo before Judge!)

        NYY drafted Eric Jagielo six picks ahead of Judge that same draft, at #26 overall, and included him as a major piece for Chapman in addition to Davis. Why would the Reds sell him for cash?

    What was the point in outrighting him instead of just optioning him. Do they really need the 40 man roster spot that bad.

      40 man was full already when they activated him… Reds filled his spot on it during the course of his stint on the 60 day DL. Someone had to be outrighted
