The Cincinnati Reds have designated pitcher Luis Cessa for assignment after skipping his turn in the starting rotation last week. Cessa had a 9.00 ERA in 26 innings and was primarily a reliever before transitioning to the rotation at the end of last season. The Reds still owe him the prorated amount of his $2.65 million salary if he’s not claimed off waivers or traded. The team also placed Reiver Sanmartin on the 15-day injured list and called up Triple-A pitchers Ben Lively and Kevin Herget.

It remains to be seen which team will give Cessa the chance to return to his successful role as a reliever.
