Reds' James Marinan: Moved to Double-A

The Reds optioned Marinan to Double-A Chattanooga on Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Along with Marinan, Cincinnati optioned outfielder Allan Cerda and right-hander Jared Solomon to Chattanooga in the latest round of roster cuts. Even though Cincinnati chose to protect Marinin from the Rule 5 draft this winter by adding him to the 40-man roster, the 23-year-old is unlikely to reach the big leagues in 2022. He split time between Low-A Daytona and High-A Dayton last season, logging a collective 4.31 ERA and 63:41 K:BB in 64.2 innings.
