My moves would be Cast to the DL and Ryan Hendrix optioned. Lopez and Barrero called up.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Reds are unlikely to drop to 13 pitchers now. If they replace Hendrix it would likely be with another pitcher.
Over next 30 games, Reds have only one off day. Only one off day between today and August 22. Covers the Cards series, then road trip, home stand, road trip, home stand. They likely want 14 pitchers for that stretch.

Good point. They didn’t even have a true outfielder to call up for Castellanos. Getting tight.
Reds have a few guys they can DFA to make room if needed. They’ll have to DFA guys when the 60-day DL guys return, Blandino, Senzel, Moose.
Reds’ forty man roster is clogged with pitchers, they’ve used 26 pitchers on the big league team (plus position players). Currently Reds have 25 pitchers plus one 60-day IL guy on the forty man roster. Seven injured list pitchers.

Barrero went 4-5, HR, Double, Steal, 4 Runs, 6 RBIs last night.
Up to a .309/.404/.553 in AAA after doing the same sort of thing in AA.

he's actually doing better in AAA than he was doing in AA, and that's saying something.
kid is the real deal.
combined stats for the season: .303 BA, 12 HR, 52 RBIs, 12 steals, .381 OBP, .889 OPS (254 at-bats).
The only concerning thing is the strike outs, but if he's going to hit 25 HR and steal 25 bags you can live with it.
