Reds DFA 5-Year MLB Veteran Relief Pitcher

The Cincinatti Reds have made a roster move, as they have designated relief pitcher Ron Marinaccio for assignment.

The Cincinnati Reds have decided to release relief pitcher Ron Marinaccio from their roster. Marinaccio, a 6-foot-2 right-handed pitcher, appeared in just four games for the team, allowing 10 earned runs over six hits and seven walks in 5.1 innings pitched. Despite his brief tenure with the Reds, Marinaccio has made appearances for three other teams this season, including the San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates.

In 41 games across the three teams, he has a 1-0 record, a 6.09 ERA, and 48 strikeouts. The Reds have subsequently selected pitcher Kent Emanuel from Triple-A Louisville and are bringing in Zach McCambley as their extra player for their upcoming doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. Teams searching for additional pitching depth might consider Marinaccio, as he has had some success in the majors over his five-season career.
