Reds Outright Randy Wynne

By Steve Adams | June 28, 2023 at 12:42pm CDT

Reds right-hander Randy Wynne went unclaimed on outright waivers and has been assigned to Triple-A Louisville, per a club announcement. He’ll remain with the organization but no longer occupy a spot on the 40-man roster.

Wynne, 30, made his big league debut earlier this month, tossing 2 1/3 innings and allowing a run on three hits and a walk. He’d been summoned from Louisville when a taxed and injury-riddled Cincinnati pitching staff needed a fresh arm, and Wynne found himself removed from the 40-man just one day after his debut in order for the Reds to get another fresh arm in the bullpen (righty Jake Wong, who’s now also been designated for assignment).

An undrafted free agent who spent three years in independent ball before the Reds signed him out of the Frontier League, Wynne is currently in his second season at the Triple-A level. He’s been tagged for a 5.12 ERA in 31 2/3 frames with Louisville this season and posted a 4.75 ERA in 133 2/3 innings there during the 2022 season. Wynne doesn’t throw particularly hard (89.4 mph average on his sinker) or miss many bats, but he’s displayed keen command of the strike zone throughout his time in pro ball, walking just 3.9% of his opponents between the minors and his brief big league tenure.

    Better to be selected and outrighted rather than to have never been selected at all?

        To eat innings. Nothing more, nothing less.

        His ERA over the last two months was 3.13.

        Calling him up and outrighting him a couple days later actually worked out perfectly. They needed an arm to chew up a few innings. He did that (and looked decent). Then they got him through waivers and back down to the farm.

      @BasWiz,
      No truer words have ever been spoken.

    Sadly most organizations with a plan or competent would not have selected him at all.

      I’m as critical as anyone about the Reds front office but they currently have 11 pitchers on the IL. ANY team would be scraping the bottom of the barrel at that point

        Two of those probably wouldn’t have been in the big leagues and three others were not counted on this season.
