Reds Claim Robert Dugger From Rays

By Mark Polishuk | May 4, 2022 at 1:34pm CDT

The Reds have claimed right-hander Robert Dugger off waivers from the Rays.  Tampa Bay designated Dugger for assignment on Monday.

After signing a minor league deal with the Rays during Spring Training, Dugger’s tenure with the club will end after a single game.  The Rays selected Dugger’s contract on May 1 and he tossed 5 1/3 innings of relief work after starter Josh Fleming was hit hard in a 9-3 loss to the Twins.

Dugger has now made at least one appearance in each of the last four MLB seasons, albeit in sparing fashion — he has pitched 76 innings over 24 total games with the Marlins, Mariners, and Rays.  Dugger started 12 of those games and has primarily worked as a starter throughout his minor league career, so he automatically becomes a rotation candidate for a Reds team that has been plagued with injuries.

Luis Castillo, Mike Minor, and Nick Lodolo are all still working their way back from the IL, so in the interim, Dugger could potentially start for Cincinnati as early as Saturday, when the Reds host the Pirates in a doubleheader.  The struggling Reds don’t have another off-day until May 16, so some arms will be needed to eat innings until some of the regular starters return from the injured list.

    Did the Reds have a 40-man spot open from putting Joey Votto on the COVID-IL? Will they turn around and try to pass Dugger through waivers when they re-activate Votto?

        Trying to understand the MLB transaction rules. Obviously the Reds are a train wreck regardless.

      No, I believe he is the Patriots D2 Safety they drafted last year. He wants to be the next Deion Sanders.
