7 years agoCincinnati Reds second baseman Dilson Herrera has cleared waivers and will no longer be part of the team's 40-man roster. He is expected to remain in big league camp in the meantime as the team attempts to get him more at-bats. Herrera had season-ending shoulder surgery in July 2017 and has not yet been able to play defense in camp. The fact the promising youngster was not claimed by any other team could indicate that there's still concern over Herrera's shoulder. Herrera's inability to play the field likely played into the Reds' decision to outright the 24-year-old infielder. Herrera came over to Cincinnati in the deal which sent Jay Bruce to the New York Mets during the 2016 season.--Matt T - RotoBaller
