The Reds placed Ross Detwiler on the 15-day injured list and selected the contract of Buck Farmer, per the club.
The veteran Detwiler experienced a kind of renaissance last season, appearing in more than 20 games for the first time since 2015. If he’s healthy, the Reds will likely listen to offers for the southpaw, should there be a contending team looking for a low-cost southpaw to add to the pen. Detwiler has a 4.20 ERA/4.97 FIP in 18 appearances totaling 15.0 innings for the Reds this season.
Farmer, 31, pitched for Detroit from 2014 until 2021, an eight-year span that included 241 appearances (21 starts). He left the Tigers with a 5.33 ERA/5.04 FIP over 320 2/3 innings. He was most prolific from 2018-2019 when he made 139 appearances with a solid 3.94 ERA/4.17 FIP.
He has made 10 appearances with the Reds this season, giving up nine earned runs in 12 innings with a 17-to-7 strikeout to walk ratio. He’s been solid in Triple-A, however, with a 3.63 ERA across 22 1/3 innings in relief.
Invalid transaction by the Reds, it doesn’t involve Duggar.

Farmer ain’t getting waived. My apologies if there was humor there that I missed.
Good luck to Buck..we always enjoyed you in Detroit
Might as well expand the roster to 30 the way clubs are manipulating the injured list.
Isn’t George Costanza’s adult film name ‘Buck Farmer’?
