To put right-handed starting pitcher Daniel Wright (who you can read about right here) on the active and 40-man rosters, the Cincinnati Reds had to make a couple of roster moves on Tuesday.
One transaction didn’t come as much of a surprise, as the team optioned outfielder Steve Selsky to Triple-A Louisville to make room on the 25-man roster.
Today the Reds selected from Class AAA Louisville the contract of RHP Daniel Wright (#41) and optioned to Louisville OF Steve Selsky.

The other move was quite puzzling.
