Reds' Lorenzo Cedrola: Sent to Cincinnati
Rotowire
Cedrola was sent to the Reds on Monday in exchange for international amateur signing bonus pool money, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Cedrola has hit a solid .318/.350/.427 through 50 games for Low-A Greenville so far this season. He's made a good deal of contact so far in his professional career, but hasn't shown much power (seven career home runs in 262 games) and seems allergic to walks (2.2 percent walk rate this season). His most appealing tool for fantasy purposes is his speed on the bases, as he has gone 65-for-91 (71.4 percent success rate) on stolen-base attempts in 262 career games.

Red Sox's Lorenzo Cedrola: Recovering from ankle surgery
Rotowire
Cedrola's 2017 season was cut short due to ankle surgery, Baseball America's Alex Speier reports.
He hit .285/.322/.387 with four home runs and 19 steals on 26 attempts in 92 games as a 19-year-old at Low-A prior to the injury. This should not sideline him this spring, but prospective dynasty-league owners need to be aware of the fact that his stolen-base totals at High-A could be affected, at least early on. He is a plus runner and quality defender in center field. It will be on him to prove he can hit enough in the upper levels to profile as more than a bench outfielder.

The 19-year-old outfielder is in the midst of a 3-for-30 slump, but he preceded that with an 11-game hitting streak in which he hit .381. Cedrola has struggled mightily against right-handed pitching with a .221/.271/.275 slash line and is still adjusting after his last two seasons in rookie ball.
