Cincinnati Reds Call Up Barnhart; Corcino Claimed by Dodgers

The Cincinnati Reds continued their busy week of minor league promotions and demotions, calling up catcher Tucker Barnhart and optioning catcher Kyle Skipworth to Triple-A Louisville.

Barnhart likely would’ve been called up on Monday instead of Skipworth, but rules prevent a player from being called up to the majors less than 10 days after they were optioned. Technically, Barnhart was cut from the spring training roster and optioned to Louisville on March 23, but the clock didn’t begin until Opening Day.

Skipworth heads back to the minors without logging a plate appearance for the Reds.
