Kyle

Waldrop

He cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization. Waldrop has hit only .227/.261/.273 across multiple stints with the big club this season.

Waldrop was called up last month but didn’t appear in any games. The 24-year-old has had an up-and-down year in Louisville, hitting .247 with four homers and 17 RBI in 162 at-bats. Dayan Diaz was sent down in the corresponding move.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Wandy Peralta. Waldrop has hit only .227/.261/.273 across multiple stints with the big club this season.

Waldrop has hit only .227/.261/.273 across multiple stints with the big club this season. He’ll be back in September.

Waldrop has picked up five hits over 16 at-bats in his brief time in the majors this season. He’ll return to a .247/.291/.383 line at Louisville.

The slugger will get the day off with right-hander Julio Teheran on the mound for Atlanta. Kyle Waldrop will make his first start in left field.

Waldrop is 5-for-20 (.250) this year in the major leagues and he is a .238/.273/.286 career hitter. The 24-year-old outfielder carries no fantasy relevance.

Bruce had two hits, two runs, and two RBI on Wednesday night against the Braves, but he’ll sit out Thursday afternoon’s series finale. Kyle Waldrop is starting in right field and batting fifth versus Matt Wisler.

Bailey needed 14 months to recover from Tommy John surgery. He’ll make his season debut for the Reds Sunday against the Padres. To make room for Bailey on the active roster, the Reds optioned Kyle Waldrop to Triple-A Louisville while also transferring Caleb Cotham (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list.

For some reason the Reds have decided to activate Homer Bailey from the disabled list even though he’s not scheduled to pitch until Sunday. Waldrop owns a .250 average over 20 at-bats for the Reds this season. We’ll see him again in September, if not sooner.
