The Reds returned Dawson to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Dawson's stay in Cincinnati will last just one day after he was added to the active roster as a replacement player when Mike Moustakas was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Monday. With Moustakas having since cleared all COVID-19 protocols and on track to rejoin the Reds on Tuesday, Dawson will head back to Louisville.

Astros' Ronnie Dawson: Invited to big-league camp
Rotowire
Dawson was invited to the Astros' major-league camp Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dawson appeared in 119 games between High-A Buies Creek and Double-A Corpus Christi in 2018, hitting a combined .258/.333/.428 with 16 homers and 35 stolen bases. Seeing as the 23-year-old has yet to appear above Double-A, his presence at big-league camp is primarily for experience. Dawson figures to return to the minors to begin the 2019 campaign.
