Reds designate OF Aquino for assignment, promote RHP Overton

The Cincinnati Reds cut outfielder Aristides Aquino, clearing a roster spot for right-hander Connor Overton to start Saturday night at Colorado

APRIL 30, 2022 • Associated Press

Designated for assignment Aquino was designated for assignment by the Reds on Saturday.

Impact Aquino's performance in August of 2019 remains one of the most impressive of all time for a rookie, as he hit .320/.391/.767 with 14 homers. The contrast between his numbers from that month and his numbers since then couldn't be more stark, however, as he's slashed a miserable .173/.262/.357 since September of 2019. Things have gotten even worse for him this year, as he's slumped to a .049/.093/.122 slash line while striking out 53.5 percent of the time. Even the rebuilding Reds didn't see the point in waiting for him to turn things around, which may not bode well for his ability to latch on somewhere else. The move clears space for the Reds to select Connor Overton's contract.

Out of Saturday's lineup Aquino is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Aquino started the Reds' last nine games, but he will be held out Saturday with fellow outfielder Tyler Naquin returning to action. With the Reds' top three outfielders now healthy, Aquino -- who has just two hits all season -- will likely fill a reserve role moving forward.

Seeing steady starts Aquino will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact With a southpaw (MacKenzie Gore) on the hill for San Diego, the righty-hitting Aquino will get the nod in right field over Jake Fraley. Both Aquino and Fraley could form a platoon in right while Tyler Naquin (illness) is on the COVID-19 injured list, while Nick Senzel and Tommy Pham should occupy the other two spots in the outfield in most games. Aquino has now started in eight consecutive games, though a number of his starts came while Senzel was on the COVID-19 IL. Even on days Fraley mans right field, Aquino could still have a path to at-bats at designated hitter while the Reds are without all of Naquin, Jonathan India (hamstring), Mike Moustakas (biceps), Tyler Stephenson (concussion), Donovan Solano (hamstring) and Max Schrock (calf).

Benefiting from Senzel's absence Aquino will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Aquino has been the main beneficiary of Nick Senzel (illness) landing on the COVID-19 injured list, as the former will pick up his fifth consecutive start in the outfield Sunday. Over the previous four contests, Aquino has gone 1-for-14 with a home run, a walk and two RBI.

Slugs homer in loss Aquino went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.

Impact Aquino got another start for the Reds despite striking out in all four of his plate appearances Wednesday. He struck out two more times Thursday but produced a big two-run blast that provided the team's first runs and chased Walker Buehler from the contest during the sixth inning. Aquino's power can be tantalizing, but his massive strikeout numbers limit his playing time and make him mostly an afterthought in fantasy.

Reds fifth outfielder Aquino will begin the season as the Reds' fifth outfielder, behind Tommy Pham, Tyler Naquin, Nick Senzel and Jake Fraley, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact With Max Schrock out for four-to-six weeks due to a calf injury, Aquino gets a little extra time to earn a roster spot. He's out of options, so if he does lose out on a major league spot, he could be off the 40-man roster entirely.
