The Reds are expected to call up right-hander Julian Garcia, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The 31-year-old will be making his big-league debut when he appears in a game.

MLBTR Chat Transcript
Mark P We’re off and running with the latest edition of the Weekend Chat! James Jung Hoo Lee to the Astros? Mark P It’s an interesting idea on paper, but Lee is probably too expensive given Astros ownership’s wariness about the luxury tax. Some money could change hands as part of a hypothetical trade package, […]

Guardians Outright George Valera
Outfielder George Valera has cleared waivers, according to MLB.com’s Tim Stebbins. The Guardians designated Valera for assignment earlier this week, and since Valera isn’t eligible to decline an outright assignment, he’ll now be removed from Cleveland’s 40-man roster and outrighted to Triple-A Columbus. Valera made his MLB debut last season and hit .220/.333/.415 over his […]

Padres Designate Nick Solak For Assignment
The Padres announced that utilityman Nick Solak has been designated for assignment. Miguel Andujar was activated from the 10-day injured list in the corresponding move.
