Impact Vilade had been a waiver claim of the Reds in June but didn't receive a plate appearance during his brief time with Cincinnati. The 26-year-old is 9-for-64 over parts of three seasons during his time at the big-league level. Vilade will attempt to win a reserve role with the Rays.

Impact Vilade was called up by Cincinnati in late June and saw the field once as a defensive replacement during his brief time in the majors. The 26-year-old played in seven games for St. Louis earlier in the campaign and went 1-for-13 with two walks, a run and five strikeouts.

Moving up to big leagues The Reds recalled Vilade from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on June 14, Vilade spent about a week and a half with Louisville before getting his first call-up to the Reds. He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Connor Joe, who was placed on the injured list after coming down with hand, foot and mouth disease. The right-handed-hitting Vilade brings ample defensive versatility to the table and could serve as a short-side platoon player for the Reds, but he won't be included in the lineup Wednesday while the Yankees send southpaw Max Fried to the hill.

Claimed by Reds The Reds claimed Vilade off waivers from the Cardinals on Saturday.

Impact The Cardinals pushed Vilade off their 40-man roster Thursday after he went just 1-for-13 during his seven-game tenure with the big-league club. The Reds, however, were evidently intrigued by his .851 OPS in the minors, so they'll bring him onto their 40-man roster and send him to Triple-A Louisville. Jacob Hurtubise was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Designated for assignment The Cardinals designated Vilade for assignment Thursday.

Impact Vilade received the call to St. Louis at the end of May but has since gone just 1-for-13 in seven games with the Cardinals. His poor performance will ultimately result in him losing his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Michael Siani was recalled from Memphis to replenish the big club's outfield depth, and Andre Granillo was selected from Triple-A to fill the open 40-man spot.

Gets start versus lefty Vilade is starting in right field and batting seventh in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Joins active roster The Cardinals selected Vilade's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Vilade has spent the entire season at Triple-A, where he owns a .280/.375/.476 slash line with five homers, 31 RBI, 33 runs scored and five stolen bases through 48 games. He'll now join the big club to help make up for the loss of Jordan Walker (wrist), though he isn't likely to crack the starting lineup often.

Misses out on Opening Day roster The Cardinals reassigned Vilade to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Vilade was one of 12 players sent out in the Cardinals' latest round of roster cuts leading up to Opening Day. As a member of the Tigers organization last season, the 26-year-old utility player saw his first big-league action since 2021, appearing in 17 games while slashing .178/.208/.244. Vilade is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Memphis.

NRI deal with St. Louis The Cardinals signed Vilade to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact Vilade saw limited action with the Tigers in 2024, producing a .453 OPS in 17 games. He spent most of the year at Triple-A Toledo, slashing .278/.346/.449 with 13 homers and 20 stolen bases. Slated to turn 26 in February, Vilade saw starts at every position but shortstop, catcher and pitcher with Toledo.

Off Detroit's 40-man roster The Tigers outrighted Vilade from the 40-man roster Monday after clearing waivers.

Impact Vilade spent most of the 2024 regular season with Triple-A Toledo, and across 108 games he slashed .278/.346/.449 with 20 stolen bases, 13 home runs and 64 RBI over 442 plate appearances. He did appear in 17 regular-season games for the Tigers and went 8-for-45 with one home run and five RBI.

Optioned to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Vilade to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Impact Vilade is making room on the active roster for Kerry Carpenter's return from the injured list. He's managed just a .453 OPS over 17 contests in the majors in 2024.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Sunday Vilade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Vilade had started in right field in each of the past three games, but he went hitless with five strikeouts in nine at-bats and is now slashing .178/.208/.244 over 49 plate appearances with the Tigers on the season. With Matt Vierling (back) returning to the lineup at designated hitter Sunday and likely to return to the outfield in the near future, Vilade will likely return to a reserve role.

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Tigers recalled Vilade from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vilade could get some starts in the outfield against lefties with Riley Greene (hamstring) joining Parker Meadows (hamstring) on the injured list. He's 8-for-27 with a homer during his brief time in the majors this season.

Heading back to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Vilade to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Impact Though he had picked up starts in the corner outfield in each of the Tigers' last five games while going 6-for-18 with a solo home run, Vilade will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to another utility player in Bligh Madris. Unlike Vilade, Madris is a left-handed batter, so the Tigers may have preferred to have Madris on hand a potential strong-side platoon option.

Hits first MLB home run Vilade went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-9, 10-inning win over the Dodgers.

Impact Vilade got the start in right field but ended up moving to first base and left before the wild, comeback win ended for the Tigers. The 25-year-old also blasted his first MLB home run in the fifth inning. Vilade got recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, replacing Akil Baddoo on the roster, and the former could carve out a more regular role if he continues to hit, as he's currently batting a robust .294 with an .839 OPS across his first 17 at-bats of the season.
