Wynns

With Luke Maile (back) heading to the injured list, Wynns gets another opportunity to serve as the Reds’ primary backup behind the dish. He has only appeared in one game at the big-league level this season, going 3-for-5 (.600) with three doubles and an RBI. If he continues to hit like that, it’s going to be hard to send him back down when Maile heals up.

Wynns passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth stashed at Triple-A Louisville.

Wynns will likely pass through waivers again after spending a couple days up with Cincinnati as extra catching depth with Tyler Stephenson away from the team on paternity leave.

The move comes just three days after he was outright to Triple-A. He’ll serve as the backup to Luke Maile for the next couple of days.

Wynns has accepted the assignment according to Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wynns was designated for assignment and went unclaimed, and now is organizational depth at the Triple-A level.

Wynns was up for a couple days with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth with Tyler Stephenson not playing. The 33-year-old backstop will likely pass through waivers unclaimed and return to Triple-A Louisville as extra organizational depth.

Wynns was hitting .252 with four home runs and 17 RBI in 103 at-bats in Triple-A. The Reds are currently carrying three catchers with Wynns, Tyler Stephenson, and Luke Maile. Wynns will begin Friday’s game on the bench with Maile getting the start and batting ninth against the Red Sox.

Wynns predictably went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He’ll likely opt to remain with the Reds as extra catching depth at Triple-A Louisville to open the 2024 campaign after signing a one-year, $950,000 split contract with the club last month.

Wynns inked a one-year, $950,000 split contract with the Reds last month and figures to pass through waivers unclaimed. The 33-year-old veteran backstop will presumably open the 2024 campaign back at Triple-A Louisville as emergency catching depth.

It’s a split contract for Wynns, who could wind up opening the 2024 campaign back at Triple-A Louisville as extra catching depth for Cincinnati. The 33-year-old journeyman backstop got into 51 games this past season between a trio of NL West squads, including the Giants, Dodgers and Rockies. He’s merely emergency catching depth at this stage of his career.
