Schrock was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday. Schrock had been in big-league camp as a non-roster invitee. He hit .364 with two doubles, two steals, one walk and one strikeout in 11 at-bats this spring. His ability to play all over the field and make contact at a solid clip (84.9 Contact% for his career) could earn him a promotion at some point this season.

Schrock (kneecap) agreed Monday with the Padres on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. A calf injury and a fractured right kneecap limited Schrock to just 33 appearances between the majors and the Triple-A level in 2022, but the Padres are seemingly hopeful that he'll be ready to go by spring training. The 28-year-old has yet to gain much traction as a full-time utility player in the majors, but he has the ability to play all over the diamond as well as the corner outfield and has demonstrated excellent bat-to-ball skills during his time in the minors. Even if he fails to win a spot on the Friars' Opening Day roster, Schrock should at least make for strong organizational depth at Triple-A El Paso.

The Reds released Schrock (kneecap) on Tuesday. Schrock was unlikely to return to action this season after suffering a small fracture in his right kneecap in late July and was recently removed from the 40-man roster, so the Reds will allow the 27-year-old to get a fresh start on finding a new organization. The fractured kneecap along with a calf injury suffered in spring training limited Schrock to just 33 total games between the majors and Triple-A Louisville in 2022.

Schrock (kneecap) was designated for assignment by the Reds on Monday. Schrock was transferred to the 60-day injured list in early August while recovering from a fractured kneecap, but he'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster with the Reds selecting Chase Anderson's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Even if the 27-year-old goes unclaimed on waivers, he's unlikely to return to action in 2022.
