Athletics signed RHP Carlos Fisher to a minor league contract

Fisher had a 4.61 ERA in 52 appearances with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate this past season. While he's struggled with his command in the majors, he should compete for a bullpen spot with the Athletics in spring training.

Reds sent RHP Carlos Fisher outright to Triple-A Louisville.

Fisher successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 27-year-old right-hander will be in camp with the Reds as a non-roster player. He posted a 4.50 ERA and 17/11 K/BB ratio over 24 innings last season.

Reds designated RHP Carlos Fisher for assignment.

He was cleared in order to make room for the newly-signed Ryan Ludwick on the Reds' 40-man roster. Fisher, who turns 28 later this month, had a 4.50 ERA and 17/11 K/BB ratio over 24 innings with the big club last season. He has struggled with his command in the big leagues (5.0 BB/9), but could draw some interest from another organization.

Fisher has served three stints with the Reds this season, posting a 3.71 ERA and 10/9 K/BB ratio over 17 innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will provide some additional bullpen depth down the stretch.

Fisher has held a 3.71 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 17 innings for the Reds this season across his multiple stints. He'll likely get another shot at some point in the second half.

The Reds needed an additional relief arm after the bullpen was taxed during Friday's rain-delayed game. Fisher wasn't pitching well at Louisville, holding a 7.71 ERA over six games, but he offers experience, having appeared in 57 games for the Redlegs over the past two seasons.

Reds reassigned RHPs Carlos Fisher, Jerry Gil, Jordan Smith and LHP Daniel Ray Herrera to minor league camp.

Fisher allowed 10 hits and eight earned runs in just seven Cactus League innings this spring. He'll have to do far better at Triple-A Louisville before the Reds consider him for a big league bullpen job.

Fisher has posted an ugly 5.68 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 19 innings of relief this season. He will probably be brought back when rosters expand.

The Reds opted for Fisher over Aroldis Chapman, who has been dominating lately. Fisher has been up and down with the Reds this season, posting a 6.89 ERA in 13 games. He has been terrific at Triple-A, with a 1.74 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 34/7 K/BB ratio over 31 innings.

Despite speculation to the contrary, it appears that the Reds are calling up Carlos Fisher, not Aroldis Champman, to replace the injured Russ Springer on the roster.

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon saw Fisher in the lobby of the hotel that the Reds are staying in, so that's a pretty good indication of the team's plans right there. Chapman will be brought up before the end of the month, but it appears he's being passed over this time.

The 27-year-old right-hander will return to a sterling 1.86 ERA in 23 relief appearances with Louisville, including a 9.3 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9. He's not been anywhere near as effective against major league batter, producing a 6.89 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 15 2/3 innings.

Fisher was called to the big leagues in late April after getting off to a nice start for the Louisville Bats, but it hasn't worked out as planned. He will leave behind an ugly 9.82 ERA and a 2.09 WHIP.

Fisher had eight scoreless innings under his belt with the Bats, so he deserves the opportunity. The 27-year-old right-hander tallied a 4.47 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 39 relief appearances with the Reds last season.
