The Cincinnati Reds activated shortstop Kyle Farmer from the paternity list on Monday and designated right-handed reliever Brad Brach for assignment. While Cincinnati could have decided to move on from infielder Asdrúbal Cabrera, letting Brach go was the correct move for now.

Brach was a key member of the Reds relief corps for a stretch earlier this season, but the recent additions of Luis Cessa, Justin Wilson, and Mychal Givens made the right-hander expendable.
