Stephen Johnson: Cut by Cincinnati
Johnson was released by the Reds on Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Johnson didn't make a single appearance for the Reds this spring. Most recently, he pitched at Triple-A Louisville during the 2016 season, during which he posted a 4.82 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 35 games (74.2 innings). If a team opts to pick him up, Johnson will likely serve as organizational depth.

Reds' Stephen Johnson: Clears waivers and remains with Triple-A Louisville
Johnson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Johnson was not picked up by another club during his waiver period and will therefore remain with Cincinnati's Triple-A affiliate. The 25-year-old's rough start is a likely reason why he wasn't added by another team, as he's given up earned runs in seven of his last 10 relief appearances and accumulated a 5.72 ERA on the season. It is his first appearance at the Triple-A level, however, and given it's still early in the season, there is still plenty of time to improve.
