The Cincinnati Reds have claimed infielder-outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera off waivers from the New York Yankees, per announcements from both clubs. Cabrera had been designated for assignment by the Yankees earlier in the week. Per MLB Trade Rumors, the claim was first reported by Alfre Alvarez of Con Las Bases Llenas.
To make room on the roster, the Reds transferred infielder-outfielder Spencer Steer to the 60-day injured list, per MLB Trade Rumors. Yahoo Sports reported that the Reds also promoted Julian Aguiar as part of the roster adjustments. MLB.com noted that the moves came amid a broader flurry of roster activity, including infielder Garcia being placed on the injured list for elbow surgery, though the outlet did not specify whether Garcia's move was directly connected to the Cabrera claim.
