The Padres have agreed to a minor league contract with free-agent infielder Max Schrock, reports Jon Morosi of MLB.com. The Icon client received an invitation to Major League Spring Training.
The Reds announced they have selected the contract of right-hander Chase Anderson, who will take the ball and start tonight’s game. Fellow right-hander Dauri Moreta was optioned to open a spot on the active roster, while utility player Max Schrock was designated for assignment to create room on the 40-man.
... Max Schrock pitched. The Cincinnati Reds were spanked by the Chicago Cubs, 15-7. They’ll do their best to go out there and get ‘em again tomorrow. Go Reds.
If Cincinnati were to go on a lengthy playoff run, Naquin’s chances of returning would surely improve, although that seems very unlikely at this point.
Kaminsky tossed 4 2/3 innings of relief for the Cards this year, allowing two earned runs on three hits and a pair of walks with three strikeouts and a 60 percent ground-ball rate.
