• Conner Capel: Cut loose by Cincinnati

  08/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Reds released Capel on Aug. 3. Capel had previously logged eight plate appearances over five games at the big-league level in May with the Reds before he was designated for assignment June 21. He ultimately cleared waivers and stuck around in the organization for another month before the Reds elected to move on from the 27-year-old outfielder. Capel slashed .215/.345/.429 with 12 home runs and nine stolen bases over 74 games with Triple-A Louisville.

• Reds' Conner Capel: Outrighted to Louisville

  06/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Capel cleared waivers Sunday and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Capel was booted off Cincinnati's 40-man roster Friday, and he will officially remain with the organization rather than deciding to test his luck in free agency. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .221/.365/.435 with 21 RBI through 192 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and may rejoin the Reds later in the summer if outfield depth becomes a problem for the big-league club.

  Capel was designated for assignment Friday. Capel went 2-for-8 in five games with the Reds this season, but his demotion will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Wynns. Assuming Capel clears waivers, expect him to stick around in Cincinnati's system.

• Reds' Conner Capel: Makes third straight start

  05/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Capel started in left field and went 1-for-2 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers. Capel made a third consecutive start -- all against right-handers -- and was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter against a lefty reliever. He's 2-for-8 with a stolen base and a run scored over five appearances since having his contract selected May 7. His opportunities have increased lately due to injuries to TJ Friedl (thumb), Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) and Jonathan India (migraines).
