    Reds recalled OF Ivan Johnson from Triple-A Louisville.

    Johnson gets the call to replace Dane Myers after Myers was placed on the injured list with a shoulder bruise. The 27-year-old will likely just be a bench option in this stint with the Reds.

  • CIN 2nd Baseman #15

    He’s been sent back to the minors three separate times this season. Johnson somehow has managed to only get in to 16 games with the Reds in his time in the bigs this year — he’s hitting .063/.211/.063 with two stolen bases in 19 plate appearances.
  • CIN 2nd Baseman #15
    With Michael Toglia (shoulder) landing on the injured list, Johnson will have another opportunity to show what he’s capable of at the MLB level. The 27-year-old is just 1-for-12 with six strikeouts in 14 plate appearances with the Reds this season.
  • CIN 2nd Baseman #15
    Johnson was 1-for-12 with six strikeouts and two walks in his 14 plate appearances for the Reds this season. He was backing up at both second base and first base, so the Reds will likely need to make a transacation to add bench depth.
  • CIN Left Fielder #22
    Bleday receives his first day off since the start of July after launching his 18th home run during the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against Cleveland. The 28-year-old has cooled off considerably following a scorching-hot return to the big leagues earlier this season, but he’s still managed to connect for five round-trippers in 22 games this month. It’ll be rookie Ivan Johnson getting the nod in left field on Wednesday evening in his place.
  • CIN 2nd Baseman #15
    Johnson went 0-for-5 in four games in his first MLB stint earlier this season. The 27-year-old is hitting .278/.373/.474 in 61 games at Triple-A with 10 home runs and 11 steals. He will be on the bench on Monday with TJ Friedl starting in left field and JJ Bleday moving over to right field. That could be the regular lineup against right-handed pitchers for the next few weeks.
  • CIN Outfield #15
    He had six plate appearances during his two weeks and change on the roster, walking once. Johnson returns to a .290/.388/.489 line with the Bats in 208 plate appearances this year.
  • CIN Outfield #15
    The home run was a massive shot off of Pirates’ top prospect Bubba Chandler and was also Johnson’s third home run of the season. The Reds have moved the former second baseman to the outfield full-time this season, and he has started the year on fire, going 14-for-36 (.389) with three home runs, three steals, and 11 RBI in 11 games. The 26-year-old had just 13 home runs and 15 steals in 121 minor league games last year, so this may be a mirage, but it’s something to keep an eye on with the Reds’ offense struggling.

    Twins selected the contract of 1B Aaron Sabato from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Sabato, the Twins’ first-round pick in 2020, will make his major league debut after hitting .273/.349/.528 with 25 homers in 470 plate appearances for St. Paul. He could see time at first base and DH this week.

    Twins designated C Alex Jackson for assignment.

    Since being readded to the Twins roster five weeks ago, Jackson had gone 1-for-3 with a walk and caught a total of five innings in three games the Twins won a combined 34-3. He’s actually hit .304/.342/.406 in 73 plate appearances in the majors this season, but given that he cleared waivers last month, no one seems to be taking that seriously.

    Nationals activated LHP DJ Herz from the 60-day injured list.

    Herz will start tonight against the Tigers and potentially throw 70-75 pitches in his return from Tommy John surgery.

    Nationals optioned LHP Jared Simpson to Triple-A Rochester.

    Simpson gave up five runs and walked seven in 4 1/3 innings during his three weeks with the Nationals.

    Nationals released RHP Cole Henry.

    The 27-year-old Henry, who was last in the majors in July, finished the year injured and thus couldn’t be DFA’d to open up his 40-man roster spot. So, he’ll go on release waivers and probably be offered a minor league contract to stick around if he clears. Henry looked like he might turn into a setup man a year ago after shifting to the pen, but he had a 7.90 ERA in 13 2/3 innings for the Nationals this season.

    Ryan Thompson struck out two in a hitless inning for Triple-A Ren on Sunday.

    Thompson is about ready to return from a strained back, but he’s ineligible to do so because of the decision to move him to the 60-day IL at the beginning of the month. He won’t be able to come off the IL until the postseason, and it doesn’t currently look like the Diamondbacks will be taking part.

    Nelson Rada went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two walks as Triple-A Salt Lake’s left fielder on Sunday.

    If the Angels still have high hopes for the 21-year-old Rada, they’re not really showing it while batting him sixth and playing him in a corner in Triple-A. He ends the year at .278/.376/.362 with three homers and 43 steals. It’s a lot more difficult to imagine him making it in the majors as a platoon starter against righties if he’s not a center fielder.

    Charlie Condon had a three-run homer and a bases-loaded walk Sunday for Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Rockies fans were robbed of a Condon callup by the horrible decision to not trade but extend Mickey Moniak in August. Condon ends the year with a .273/.390/.514 line, 27 homers and 98 RBI in 130 games for Albuquerque. He still might have a chance to make the Rockies out of spring training, but that Moniak belongs at DH and isn’t going anywhere won’t help matters.

    Hyeseong Kim went 0-for-4 on Sunday to conclude the Triple-A season with a .262/.330/.345 line in 85 games.

    Oklahoma City will be in the PCL championship, so Kim isn’t done for the year just yet. Still, his regular season is done. He had a .794 OPS in 37 Triple-A games and a .699 OPS in 71 major league games last year, but he’s at .674 in Triple-A and .651 in 43 major league games this season. He’ll likely enter the final guaranteed season of his three-year, $12.5 million contract out of the Dodgers’ plans. They’ll probably be willing to take on a portion of the $5.25 million he’s still owed if someone else wants to give him a chance.

    Cooper Ingle doubled twice and scored twice for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Ingle’s introduction to the majors in June couldn’t have gone much worse, but he ends the Triple-A season with a fantastic .297/.424/.528 line and 20 homers in 471 plate appearances. That .952 OPS leads all qualified International League hitters, Ingle did go back to catching in the minors after being looked at a left fielder and DH during his brief time in the majors. It doesn’t seem like he has a future behind the plate in Cleveland, but his bat should make him of some use next year.
