Playing time has been hard to come by for Jose Barrero. Producing when given those seldom opportunities has been even harder, unfortunately.
With the wave of younger prospects now dotting the roster and - as of today - the return to health and form of Nick Senzel, the Cincinnati Reds optioned Barrero back to AAA Louisville, where hopefully he’ll get both the chance to play everyday and find some better form. The Reds announced the move before the start of their series in Houston against the Astros.
The #Reds today reinstated IF/OF Nick Senzel from the 10-day injured list and optioned IF/OF Jose Barrero to Triple-A Louisville.
