As the Cincinnati Reds continue to trim the margins of their roster ahead of both administrative needs and the chance to acquire other players for 2026, Reiver Sanmartin will officially have a new club going forward.
The Giants have claimed reliever Reiver Sanmartin and outfielder Justin Dean off waivers from the Reds and Dodgers, respectively. They opened a 40-man roster spot by designating righty Mason Black for assignment.
Just yesterday the Cincinnati Reds made room on both the 40-man and active rosters for lefty Reiver Sanmartin on a day when scheduled starter Nick Lodolo was sidelined late by an illness.
The new MLB season brings opportunities as players head into their walk years and try to rebound from subpar performances. These 25 players stand out heading into 2026.
This year’s brief look with the Reds brought his career totals in the majors to 57 innings with a 5.21 ERA, a 17.5% strikeout rate and a 6.3% walk rate.
The Cincinnati Reds are optioning Sam Moll and promoting Reiver Sanmartin, according to Charlie Goldsmith. The Reds needed a fresh arm in the bullpen with Nick Lodolo scratched from his start on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
The Reds have signed left-hander Reiver Sanmartin to a minor league deal, according to Baseball America’s Matt Eddy. The southpaw will return for what will be his sixth on-field season in the Reds organization, not counting the canceled 2020 minor league campaign.
