Ben Revere: Cut loose by Toronto
The Blue Jays released Ben Revere from his minor-league contract over the weekend, Kegan Lowe of Baseball America reports.Revere joined the organization in late April and reported to Triple-A Buffalo, where he played in eight games and hit .286 with one stolen base. The outfielder wasn't likely to earn a callup to Toronto anytime soon and may have asked for his release to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Revere hasn't surfaced in the big leagues since 2017, when he appeared in 109 games for the Angels and slashed .275/.308/.344 across 308 plate appearances.

Reds' Ben Revere: Reassigned to minor league camp
Ben Revere was reassigned to minor-league camp Thursday, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Fay notes that Revere was one of the biggest surprises from Thursday's round of cuts, although it's worth mentioning that he had gone just .125/.160/.208 through 24 spring at-bats. "I think he'll go back and talk with his agent and see what his opportunities are," said manager Bryan Price. The indication as of now is that Revere may forgo heading to minor league camp and instead see if there are any other teams in need of a fourth outfielder.

Reds' Ben Revere: Joins Cincinnati on minors deal
Ben Revere signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.Revere put together a solid rebound season with the Angels last year, posting a .275/.308/.344 slash line in 308 plate appearances, but most importantly went 21-for-27 in stolen base attempts. Stolen bases are likely to be the only statistic of potential fantasy relevance for the 29-year-old, but the Cincinnati Reds outfield depth doesn't look to provide a clear path for at-bats.

Angels' Ben Revere: Drives in season-high three runs
Ben Revere went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Houston.Revere's bases-clearing double in the fifth inning gave him his first multi-RBI performance of the year. The leadoff man's value is tied primarily to speed rather than power, as he's topped 20 stolen bases in six of the past seven seasons. It was Revere's first action since suffering a knee contusion Tuesday, so he should be good to serve his usual fourth outfielder role moving forward.
