The Reds acquired outfielder Matt Wisler Jersey from the Padres for minor league reliever and cash considerations, the teams announced. Cincinnati transferred to the 60-day injured list to create a spot on the 40-man roster. San Diegos roster count falls to 38. Joe, a San Diego native who attended USD, signed with his hometown team on a $1MM contract during the offseason. He was expected to work as the right-handed half of a left field platoon with . The Padres tabbed speedster for that role instead, optioning Joe to Triple-A El Paso to begin the season. He was recalled in mid-April and went hitle s in nine at-bats. He drew one walk while striking out six times. The Friars optioned Joe back out last week. He made 16 appearances with El Paso, hitting .267/.405/.350 through 74 trips to the dish. He has yet to hit a home run but has stolen four bases and taken more walks (13) than strikeouts (10). He should have a better path to big league at-bats in Cincinnati. and , each of whom were recalled from Triple-A Louisville this week, are operating as backup outfielders. Starting right fielder has mi sed four straight games on account of calf sorene s. Cincinnati did welcome righty-hitting outfielder back from the injured list this afternoon. Their primary corner outfielders, Fraley and , each hit from the left side. Joe had a productive .251/.353/.418 slash in 363 plate appearances against lefty pitching with the Pirates between 2023-24. He didnt hit much without the platoon advantage (.230/.314/.382 in 525 PAs), but hes an affordable bench/platoon player. This is Joes second minor league option year. The Reds can shuttle him back and forth between Cincinnati and Louisville for this season and next if he holds his 40-man roster spot for that long. Hes nearing four years of service time and will be eligible for arbitration for at least two more years if he sticks with the club. Moore, who is not the former Mariners MLB pitcher of the same name, is a 25-year-old reliever. He was, however, drafted by Seattle in 2021. The Mariners included him alongside and as part of the 2022 deadline deal for . Moore has spent the past few seasons working his way up to Double-A. He combines big strikeout rates with astronomical walk tallies. He did not rank among Baseball Americas write-up of Cincinnatis top 30 prospects, though Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs ranked him 22nd in the Reds system just . Longenhagen wrote that Moores fastball/slider combination looked like that of a setup man at his peak, though his velocity has been down early this season. Hed need to dramatically improve his control to pitch above a low-leverage role in either case. Moore walked upwards of 17% of opponents acro s 46 1/3 Double-A innings last year. That resulted in a 4.47 ERA despite an excellent 32.3% strikeout rate. He has surrendered five runs (four earned) on three hits and eight walks with 12 punchouts through his first 8 2/3 frames this season. As for Callihan, his IL transfer was an inevitability. He broke his left arm in a nasty collision with the left field wall at Truist Park on Monday. He promptly underwent surgery thatll prevent him from doing any kind of baseball activities for six to eight weeks. He probably wont be able to resume his rookie season until August or September at the earliest. Image courtesy of Mark J. Rebilas, Imagn Images. Yandy Diaz Jersey
