The Reds claimed Solesky off waivers from the Rays on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.
Solesky was removed from Tampa Bay's 40-man roster Monday after the team acquired Tyler Wells from the Orioles ahead of the trade deadline. Now in a new organization, Solesky will stay put at Triple-A level, where he's accumulated a 7.03 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 56.1 innings this season.
