Reds' Tony Kemp: Sent to minor-league camp
The Cincinnati Reds reassigned Tony Kemp to minor-league camp Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.With a lifetime .238/.325/.352 slash line (94 wRC+) over 2,237 career big-league plate appearances, Kemp was one of the more accomplished non-roster invitees who joined the Reds for camp, but he never had much of a chance at winning a spot on Cincinnati's Opening Day roster in light of the team's ample infield and outfield depth.
