Austin Wynns has been designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds, as the team looks to make room on the roster for first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who is returning from the injured list. Wynns has performed exceptionally well in limited playing time, but this output may not reflect his overall career performance. With Wynns out of options, he must first clear waivers before the Reds can move forward. Encarnacion-Strand has been out since April and was considered a strong prospect after his acquisition in a past trade.
