Reds' Hernan Iribarren: Returns to Reds on MiLB deal
Hernan Alcides Iribarren signed a minor-league contract with the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.The 34-year-old declined a bit with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate last season, producing just a .674 OPS in 271 plate appearances. Iribarren played every position but pitcher last season, however, so he at least offers organizational depth all over the diamond for Cincinnati in case injuries strike the big-league club.

Reds' Hernan Iribarren: Reassigned to minors
Hernan Alcides Iribarren was reassigned to the Cincinnati Reds' minor-league camp Tuesday.After spending six straight seasons at the Triple-A level, Iribarren surfaced in the big leagues with the Reds in the second half of 2016, but was never considered part of the club's long-term plans and was outrighted from the roster shortly after the season. He re-signed with the team on a minor-league deal in the offseason and will continue to function as organizational infield depth. Iribarren should play regularly with Triple-A Louisville, but given his standing as a non-roster player, it may take a number of injuries to the infield ranks before he receives another look from the Reds.

Reds' Hernan Iribarren: Returns to Reds on NRI deal
Hernan Alcides Iribarren agreed to a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds that includes an invitation to spring training, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Iribarren reached the majors for the first time since 2009 last season and played surprisingly well, batting .311 in 45 at-bats with Cincinnati. He'll return to try to garner a reserve utility role out of spring training, although it'll be tough for a middling 32-year-old to swipe a 40-man roster spot while the Reds are trying to rebuild with younger pieces.
