Rotowire
The Reds claimed Schultz off waivers from the Nationals on Monday.
In 40 appearances at the major-league level, Schultz has collected a 5.53 ERA and 60:20 K:BB covering 57 innings. The 28-year-old will compete for a job in the Reds' bullpen, assuming he's still on the roster when spring training rolls around.
Reds' Oswaldo Cabrera: Avoids arbitration with Reds
Rotowire
The Reds and Cabrera avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.
Cabrera was claimed off waivers from the Yankees in September and went 4-for-13 at the dish during a late-season audition. The 27-year-old has an underwhelming career .233/.293/.344 batting line over parts of five major-league seasons, but he offers the ability to play virtually all over the diamond and will like slot into a utility role for the Reds in 2027.
Steer recently underwent successful surgery on his right wrist, Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media reports.
Steer suffered a partial tear of the tendon sheath in his right wrist in late July, and despite his best efforts to rehab the injury, he ended up sitting out the rest of the season. He's now gone under the knife to address the issue and is expected to be fully recovered by the time spring training begins.

Reds' Brady Singer: Blister issues during season
Rotowire
Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Thursday that Singer was plagued by blister issues during the season, Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com reports.
Singer was unavailable for a bit during spring training because of a blister problem, but he didn't miss any starts during the regular season. However, the blister issues could have affected his performance, as Singer posted a career-worst 5.85 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 126:62 K:BB over 157 innings. The 30-year-old hurler will be a free agent this offseason.

Reds' Dane Myers: Undergoes shoulder surgery
Rotowire
Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall revealed Thursday that Myers recently underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder, Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com reports.
Myers spent time on the injured list this season with the AC joint issue. The cleanup procedure should not affect Myers' availability for the beginning of spring training. Myers slashed .268/.352/.425 versus lefties in 2026 and should at least have a short-side platoon role with the Reds in 2027.
The Reds outrighted Johnson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Reds' Ivan Johnson: Returns to health
Rotowire
Johnson (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 21.
Johnson landed on the shelf Sept. 10 due to an unspecified injury and wasn't able to return before the end of the campaign. He played in 73 games this year for Triple-A Louisville, batting .247 with 11 home runs, 31 RBI, 15 stolen bases and 32 runs.
Williamson (5-5) took the loss Sunday against Toronto, striking out three while allowing four runs on four hits and three walks in three innings.
Williamson didn't end the year on a positive note, as he couldn't make it to the fourth inning despite tossing 76 pitches. The left-hander was part of the Reds' Opening Day rotation, but a shoulder injury cost him most of the season and derailed his campaign. After logging a career-worst 5.30 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 36:30 K:BB in 52.2 innings, he may have to battle for a roster spot again next spring.
