Mey struck out two and didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless inning during Thursday's 7-1 win against the White Sox.
Mey has allowed just one run with an 11:3 K:BB across 7.1 innings since being promoted May 1. The 23-year-old righty has recorded one hold but has mostly pitched in lower-leverage spots so far, though he could work his way into the high-leverage mix if he can continue delivering strong performances. Journeyman Emilio Pagan has taken over the closer role with Alexis Diaz demoted to Triple-A, and if Pagan stumbles, Mey could have an outside shot at seeing save chances later in the season.

Reds' Luis Mey: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
Cincinnati thought highly enough of the 23-year-old righty to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft by adding him to the 40-man roster over the winter, but Mey -- who has yet to pitch above the Double-A level -- was never a threat to win a spot in the Reds' Opening Day bullpen. He'll get his first taste of Triple-A to begin the 2025 season after he turned in a 3.44 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 63:43 K:BB over 55 innings between High-A Dayton and Double-A Chattanooga in 2024.
