Reds add reliever Louis Coleman to a minor-league deal

The Reds have added another veteran to their bullpen, agreeing to a deal with right-hander Louis Coleman on a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training, the team announced on Tuesday.

The Dodgers non-tendered Coleman in December.

Coleman, who will turn 31 on April 4, appeared in 61 games for Los Angeles last season, going 2-1 with a 4.69 ERA. Coleman missed most of August with shoulder fatigue.

Before signing with the Dodgers, he spent five years in Kansas City, putting up a 2.43 ERA over his first three seasons. He struggled in 2014 before appearing in just four big-league games in 2015, spending much of the year in Triple-A.
