AI Summary

The Cincinnati Reds designated outfielder Rece Hinds for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for the promotion of P.J. Higgins. Hinds struggled significantly this season with a .121 batting average and poor offensive numbers in 36 plate appearances.

The Reds needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the promotion of P.J. Higgins on Sunday and unfortunately for Hinds, he drew the short straw this time around. The 25-year-old outfielder slashed a pitiful .121/.167/.212 with an 18/1 K/BB ratio in 36 plate appearances for the Reds this season. There's enough raw talent there that another team could show interest on waivers.
