Reds sent C P.J. Higgins outright to Triple-A Louisville.

It was never announced that Higgins was DFA’ed, but as he was already in Louisville anyway after being optioned down on Sunday he’ll likely stay with the organization.

Eugenio Suárez is not in the starting lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Cardinals on Saturday.

This isn’t a big surprise, as Suárez was just activated off the injured list Friday after missing 25 games with his oblique strain. He’ll get the second half of the twin-billing off with JJ Bleday in the lineup as the designated hitter. Spencer Steer and Tyler Stephenson are also out of action with Nathaniel Lowe and P.J. Higgins getting the starts in their absence.

Reds sent P.J. Higgins outright to Triple-A Louisville.

Higgins can refuse the assignment and become a free agent if he wishes. He was jettisoned from the 40-man roster on Wednesday to make room for Chris Paddack, since the Reds had earlier activated Jose Trevino from the injured list to be their main backup catcher.

Reds re-signed C P.J. Higgins to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Higgins is merely emergency organizational catching depth for the Reds entering his age 32 campaign. The well-traveled backstop has spent the past two seasons at Triple-A Louisville and hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2022 campaign when he got into 74 games for the Cubs. He adds some additional insurance behind Tyler Stephenson and Jose Trevino.

Reds re-signed C P.J. Higgins to a minor league contract.

Higgins returns to the fold with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth at Triple-A Louisville after hitting .259/.320/.385 with 11 homers in 568 plate appearances last year. The 31-year-old backstop got into 83 contests for the division-rival Cubs from 2021-2022, posting a respectable .639 OPS with six homers in 254 plate appearances during that span, but hasn’t been back up to the big leagues since.
