Reds Outright David Buchanan

By Darragh McDonald | September 4, 2024 at 1:56pm CDT

The Reds have sent right-hander David Buchanan outright to Triple-A Louisville, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week.

Buchanan, 35, was seemingly an emergency option for the Reds. Their rotation had been without Graham Ashcraft and Brandon Williamson for much of the season due to injury. In August, each of Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Andrew Abbott and Christian Roa went on the injured list.

They sent cash to the Phillies to get Buchanan at the end of last month. He was eligible to be traded after the deadline since, at the time, he hadn’t been on a 40-man roster in 2024. He had signed a minor league deal with the Phillies in the offseason and had a 4.82 earned run average in 102 2/3 Triple-A innings before the deal.

Shortly after acquiring him, the Reds added him to their roster in order to provide a multi-inning option to their staff. The club deployed a bullpen game on August 31, with Buchanan tossing 3 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out one Brewer. Williamson was reinstated from the 60-day injured list the next day, with Buchanan designated for assignment to open up spots on both the active and 40-man rosters.

That one outing was Buchanan’s first in the majors since 2015, when he was with the Phillies. He was pitching in Japan from 2017 to 2019 and then in Korea from 2020 through 2023, before returning to North America this year. He now has a 4.97 ERA in 195 2/3 MLB innings, with almost a decade in between his time with the Phillies and his time with the Reds.

This is his first career outright and he has less than three years of major league service time. Though the Reds got Williamson back, the pitching staff is still fairly snakebitten. Buchanan can provide them with some non-roster depth for the next few weeks and could perhaps be summoned back to the majors if they need reinforcements again.

    At least he got his lifetime ERA under 5.
