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.

The San Diego State right-hander twisted his knee Thursday and has been scratched from his start in the Arizona Fall League championship game.
