The Cincinnati Reds made the right move when the team decided to option Scott Heineman to Triple-A Louisville once Tejay Antone returned from the injured list. Let’s hope Cincinnati’s front office makes the right call when Jeff Hoffman returns to the roster as well and designates Sean Doolittle for assignment.
Hoffman is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville tonight. While the right-hander is getting the start for the Bats, it’s highly unlikely Hoffman returns to the starting rotation with the success the team has seen from Vladimir Gutierrez.
