Reds' Justin Shafer: Optioned to alternate site

Shafer was optioned to the Reds' secondary camp site Friday.

Shafer is healthy after dealing with flexor mass irritation back in spring training, but he's still evidently not one of the Reds' primary bullpen options. He'll have a decent shot to make an appearance at some point this year, as he owns a career 3.75 ERA in 48 big-league innings, though that figure isn't backed up by his poor 41:32 K:BB.
