Ryan Mattheus: Released by Reds

Mattheus was released from Triple-A Louisville, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.

Mattheus failed to earn a bullpen spot on the major league roster during camp, and didn't fare much better in the minors, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and four walks during his first seven innings of the year. He'll look to catch on elsewhere on a low-risk deal to provide organizational pitching depth.
