4 years agoCincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Nate Jones was activated off of the paternity list prior to Thursday’s contest versus the Cubs. In a corresponding move, the team optioned right-hander Jose De Leon to its taxi squad. Jones has proven to be a vital cog in the Cincinnati bullpen, having amassed four holds and struck out a batter in 13 of his 16 appearances. But his 11.2 H/9 likely keeps him from being a season-long asset at this stage, particularly with the remainder of the Reds’ relief corps healthy.--Jesse Borek
