Reds' David Buchanan: Loses roster spot
The Cincinnati Reds designated David Buchanan for assignment Sunday.Buchanan's stay on the Reds' 40-man roster lasted just one day, as Cincinnati called him from Triple-A Louisville to serve as a bulk reliever in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Brewers. After relievers Fernando Cruz and Buck Farmer covered the first three innings, Buchanan entered for the next 3.1 innings, giving up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out one. If Buchanan isn't claimed off waivers, he'll likely stick around in the Cincinnati organization and report back to Louisville.

Reds' David Buchanan: Functions as bulk reliever
David Buchanan allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over 3.1 innings Saturday versus the Brewers. He did not factor in the decision.The Cincinnati Reds' pitching plans were not officially announced before the contest, and this amounted to a bullpen game for the team. Buchanan logged the most innings of any of the five pitchers the team deployed, and he threw 33 of 58 pitches for strikes in his first big-league outing since 2015. He maintained a 4.91 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 102.2 innings with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year before he was traded to the Reds on Tuesday. Buchanan started 16 of his 22 appearances at Triple-A, and there could be room for him to make a spot start or another long-relief appearance while Cincinnati's rotation is shorthanded. If he gets another outing, he'd be on schedule to pitch in next weekend's series against the Mets at Citi Field.

David Buchanan: Stays overseas
David Buchanan re-signed Dec. 8 with the Korea Baseball Organization's Samsung Lions on a one-year, $1 million contract, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.Buchanan will remain in Korea for a second straight season after he emerged as one of the Lions' top pitchers in 2020, finishing with a 3.45 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 174.2 innings. The right-hander's pitch-to-contact style likely fits better in the KBO than it would against the more power-oriented hitters in MLB, so the 31-year-old's time in North America could be over at this point. Buchanan previously made 35 starts with the Phillies between the 2014 and 2015 seasons, logging a 5.01 ERA over 192.1 innings.

Phillies' David Buchanan: Sent off 40-man roster
David Buchanan was designated for assignment by the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.With the number of higher profile prospects coming up the pipeline, there simply wasn't room for Buchanan to stay on the 40-man roster. There's still hope for the 27-year-old, as he was a serviceable starter with good control at Triple-A last season. That being said, his ceiling now sits more at a back-end starter or even a long reliever in the majors.
