Reds' Barrett Astin: Optioned to minors
Astin was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Astin's call to the majors was short lived this time around, as the the right-hander appeared in just one game after receiving his promotion Wednesday. Regardless, the 25-year-old made the most of his situation, throwing two shutout innings in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee.
