Royals' Joey Wiemer: Headed to Kansas City
The Reds traded Joey Wiemer and Jonathan India to the Kansas City Royals on Friday in exchange for Brady Singer.Wiemer went just 4-for-26 with nine strikeouts in 21 big-league games played between Milwaukee and Cincinnati last season. His performance in the minors wasn't great either, as he slashed .189/.277/.226 in 119 plate appearances with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate after being traded at the deadline. Once regarded as a top prospect in the Brewers' farm system, the 25-year-old Wiemer will look to turn things around with the Royals, though he will likely report to Triple-A Omaha.

Reds' Joey Wiemer: Called up to big leagues
The Cincinnati Reds recalled Joey Wiemer from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.Acquired Monday as part of the deal that sent right-hander Frankie Montas to Milwaukee, Wiemer will get the chance to make his Reds debut as he joins the team ahead of its series finale with the Giants.
