Cut by Boston The Red Sox released German on Wednesday.

Impact German had attended big-league camp with the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee but didn't wind up making any appearances in the Grapefruit League before being reassigned to the minors. The 26-year-old righty reliever won't end up breaking camp with Triple-A Worcester and will now hit the open market in search of his next opportunity. German has five MLB appearances to his name, all of which came with Boston in the 2022 season.

Claimed by Cincy The Reds claimed German off waivers from the White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.

Impact German had been designated for assignment by the White Sox and has now found a new home. The 25-year-old has a big arm as evidenced by his 16 strikeouts in 11.1 innings this season at the Triple-A level. However, his nine walks and 7.15 ERA also points to how erratic he can be. The Reds will attempt to coax the most out of the reliever.

The 25-year-old righty cracked the majors for the first time last season, though he allowed eight earned runs over just four innings of work. German will more than likely begin the season in Triple-A again, where he put up a 2.58 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 38.1 frames in 2022.

He'll have the chance to make his major-league debut late in 2022.
