The Reds selected Busenitz's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. He'll give the Reds a fresh relief arm after the bullpen needed to cover five innings Thursday against Atlanta. Busenitz gave up four runs (three earned) in one inning of work in his lone appearance with the big club in 2024.

Busenitz cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Busenitz pitched well during his brief time with the Reds this season, posting a 2.57 ERA in six appearances, in what was his first big-league action in five years. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization.

Busenitz struck out two over two perfect innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals after the Reds selected his contract from Triple-A Louisville prior to the contest. The Reds optioned Carson Spiers to the minors to open up a spot on 28-man active roster for Busenitz ahead of the season finale. Busenitz thus closes the season with a spot on the Reds' 40-man roster, though he may find himself on the chopping block once Cincinnati reinstates players from the 60-day injured list over the offseason. The 33-year-old right-hander made six relief appearances at the big-league level in 2023, posting a 2.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across seven innings.

Busenitz was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

The right-hander owns a 4.53 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 41 strikeouts over 43.2 frames this season at Triple-A.
