Reds' R.J. Alaniz: Designated for assignment

Alaniz was designated for assignment by the Reds on Wednesday.

Alaniz was sent down in early September after he served as the 29th man Sept. 1, and he'll now be cast off the 40-man roster. He's recorded a 3.46 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 39 innings across 33 relief appearances at Triple-A Louisville this season, while his removal from the 40-man roster makes room for Dauri Moreta, whose contract was selected Wednesday.
