CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds made some procedural moves Friday, Nov. 20, to set their 40-man roster, adding seven young players and ultimately losing outfielder Laynce Nix.
Nix, who batted .239 with 26 doubles, 15 home runs and 46 RBIs last season in 309 at-bats, refused an outright assignment to the minors and elected for free agency.
Catcher Craig Tatum, who hit .162 in 68 at-bats with the Reds, was claimed off waivers by Baltimore.
Added to the roster were seven former Dayton Dragons: Right-handers Enerio Del Rosario, Logan Ondrusek and Jordan Smith, left-handers Philippe Valiquette and Travis Wood, infielder Chris Valaika and outfielder Chris Heisey.
Heisey batted .347 at Carolina and .278 at Louisville, combining for 22 homers and 77 RBIs. He’s thought to have an outside shot at making the team in the spring.
No. 1 draft pick won’t need knee surgery
The Washington Nationals say No. 1 draft pick Stephen Strasburg has a dislocation in his left knee joint and should be fine for spring training.
The pitcher was examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles. The Nationals say Strasburg will not require surgery.
The San Diego State right-hander twisted his knee Thursday and has been scratched from his start in the Arizona Fall League championship game.
