Jordan

Jordan sipped a cup of coffee last year with the Reds when he got into seven games following a late-June call-up, going 1-for-10 with an RBI. The 29-year-old, who batted .307 with 13 homers and 10 steals in 401 plate appearances last year for Triple-A Louisville, provides Cincinnati with some extra outfield depth heading into next season.

Jordan’s versatility wasn’t enough to get him claimed on waivers. He was designated for assignment last week after going 1-for-10 in seven games with the Reds.

The Reds needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster on Friday and unfortunately it looks like Jordan was the odd-man out this time around. The 28-year-old has spent most of the year at Triple-A Louisville where he has slashed an impressive .302/.384/.443 with five homers, 24 RBI and six stolen bases. He could garner some interest on waivers.

Jordan went 1-for-10 with a double and one RBI in seven games with Cincinnati this year. The Reds had to make room for Blake Dunn, who has more experience in the outfield.

The 28-year-old Jordan will be making his major league debut after hitting .302/.384/.443 with five homers and six steals for Louisville. He has a little outfield experience and he’s playing right field tonight, but the Reds should treat him as more of a utility infielder in TJ Friedl’s absence.
