Aquino signed a contract with the Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan on Sunday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. Aquino was designated for assignment by the Reds in mid-November and has opted to continue his professional career overseas. He had a .197/.246/.363 slash line with 10 home runs in 80 games during 2022, though he was one of the best defensive right fielders in MLB and accumulated 1.9 dWAR despite the limited playing time.

Aquino was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday. Aquino struggled to get anything going last season, slashing .197/.246/.363 over 276 plate appearances. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he will presumably return to Triple-A Louisville, where he had much more success at the plate (1.108 OPS).

Aquino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Even with another outfielder in TJ Friedl (hamstring) moving to the injured list Tuesday, Aquino will end up finishing the campaign as a reserve outfielder. Mike Siani will be flanked in the outfield by Stuart Fairchild and Jake Fraley in the season finale while Aquino sits for the fifth time in seven games. Over his last 15 games, Aquino has hit .167 with a 34.5 percent strikeout rate.

Aquino isn't in the lineup Friday against the Cubs. Aquino has gone just 2-for-10 with a solo home run, two walks and three strikeouts over his last three games, and he'll remain on the bench for a second consecutive matchup. TJ Friedl will shift to right field while Jake Fraley starts in left.

Aquino is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates. Aquino is hitting .083 with one home run and 14 strikeouts over his last 10 games. Jake Fraley will start in right field and hit cleanup.
