Reds Acquire Yankees Fan Favorite In Big Day of Roster Moves

Key Points:

• The Cincinnati Reds have placed Spencer Steer on the 60-day injured list, ending his season and opening a 40-man roster spot, while right-handed reliever Julian Garcia was placed on the 15-day injured list due to loose bodies in his right elbow.
• The Reds claimed utility player Oswaldo Cabrera off waivers from the Yankees; Cabrera, a former top-10 Yankees prospect, has shown solid minor league offensive production and defensive versatility across multiple positions.
• Manager Boone expressed optimism about Cabrera's recovery from injury and potential career with the Reds, highlighting his switch-hitting ability and flexibility as valuable assets for the team's final games.
• Julian Garcia is set to undergo surgery similar to Hunter Greene's Tommy John procedure, which could sideline him for an extended period, while Julian Aguiar, recovering from Tommy John surgery himself, will pitch out of the bullpen in an upcoming game.
• Aguiar has had mixed results this season with a 6.05 ERA in Triple-A but has shown promise in limited major league appearances, allowing three or fewer runs in five of seven starts.
