Apr 18, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alexis Diaz (43) throws a pitch during the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images The Cincinnati Reds optioned reliever Alexis Diaz to Louisville on Friday and called up fellow right-hander Luis Mey from the Triple-A club.
Diaz has struggled mightily since his return from the injured list, posting a 12.00 ERA without a decision in six appearances for Cincinnati this season.
With his team trailing by one run on Wednesday, Diaz entered the first game of a doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals and allowed three home runs in the ninth inning, leading to a 6-0 setback. He permitted five runs on four hits and a walk in one inning.
Diaz, 28, in 18-14 with 75 saves and a 3.21 ERA in 196 career relief appearances with Cincinnati
Credited with a pitch that traveled over 103 mph earlier this season, Mey, 23, has a 1-1 record with a 4.00 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 10 games at Louisville in 2025.
Mey is ranked as the No. 20 prospect in the Reds’ rich farm system by MLB Pipeline.

Titans decline 5th-year option on WR Treylon Burks, finishing off lopsided A.J. Brown trade
The NFL deadline for teams picking up fifth-year options on 2022 rookies was Thursday at 4 p.m. ET. One player whose option did not get picked up was receiver Treylon Burks by the Tennessee Titans.Burks, 25, was the Titans' first-round pick (No. 18 overall). But Tennessee acquired that selection (and a third-rounder) by trading A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat trade already looked bad for the Titans with Brown going on to have three outstanding seasons for the Eagles, including grabbing 106 receptions for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns, who went to two Super Bowls and won a championship last season. But declining Burks' fifth-year option essentially puts a cap on that unfavorable deal.Philadelphia signed Brown to a four-year, $100 million extension upon trading for him and he's compiled 261 catches for 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns in an Eagles […]
