Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Blows save Monday night
Ohlsdorf poured gasoline on the fire in Monday's cataclysmic ninth inning collapse against the Cardinals, allowing two inherited runners to score on a walk and a hit-batter to blow a save chance.
Tony Cingrani began the inning with a 4-0 lead, but with two outs allowed a bases loaded single to score two runs, and then allowed another run to score before Ohlendorf came on with the bases loaded. But Ohlendorf's control abandoned him in the clutch as well.

Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Collects second save of 2016 Friday
Ohlendorf retired one batter to earn his second save of the year Friday against the Brewers.
After Reds' closer Tony Cingrani had allowed one run and loaded the bases with two outs, Ohlendorf came on to protect a one-run lead, and promptly got Ryan Braun to pop out to end the game. The Reds' setup man now has a 4.04 ERA to go along with a 1.25 WHIP on the season.

Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Earns first save of 2016
Ohlendorf allowed two hits, but he recorded his first save of the season in a 2-1 victory over the Athletics.
The Reds bullpen has been atrocious and leads have been hard to come by for Cincinnati, so it's hard for owners to justify carrying a Reds relief pitcher. Ohlendorf has been used mostly as a middle reliever, but he could see more save opportunities moving forward. He is 1-for-2 in save chances with a 4.32 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 27.2 innings this season.

Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Gets suspension revoked Monday
Ohlendorf won the appeal of his suspension and fine from the incident on May 11 and will have both revoked, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.
Ohlendorf was initially handed a three-game suspension after hitting Pirates third baseman David Freese with a pitch after both benches had been warned, although it seems that Major League Baseball found his case to be satisfactory enough to revoke the sentence. With the appeal process out of the way, the right-hander should continue to act as the setup man in the Cincinnati bullpen.

Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Suspended three games, will appeal
Ohlendorf was served a three-game suspension Friday but he will appeal, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Ohlendorf was ejected from Wednesday's game in the ninth inning after hitting Pirates third baseman David Freese with a pitch after the benches had already been warned. He will appeal the suspension, meaning the suspension will be delayed, but if the suspension ultimately sticks, Black Wood or Caleb Cotham could fill his setup role in the bullpen.

Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Gets loss Wednesday
Ohlendorf pitched the ninth inning Wednesday and gave up an unearned run to get the loss. He allowed two hits and hit a batter.
It's noteworthy that Reds manager Bryan Price brought Tony Cingrani in the eighth inning, and Cingrani gave up a game-tying homer. Price has suggested that there's no set role for the closer, but that Cingrani and Ohlendorf are most likely to pitch in the eighth or ninth. Cingrani has had two save chances in the last week, but Ohlendorf could still be part of the picture.

Reds' Ross Ohlendorf: Third win of the season
Ohlendorf won his third game of the season Wednesday after pitching a perfect ninth inning in a tie game, then seeing the Reds rally in the bottom of the inning.
While Ohlendorf pitched well Wednesday, he's gotten those three wins despite not pitching well overall, with an 8.22 ERA so far. Nonetheless, as one of the few quasi-veterans in the bullpen, it's possible that he could get a look in the Reds' closer committee.

Royals' Ross Ohlendorf: Granted release
Ohlendorf was granted his release by the Royals on Wednesday, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City reports.
The veteran had hoped to crack the Royals' Opening Day bullpen, but he opted out of his minor league deal Monday, forcing the Royals to either add him to their active roster or grant his release. They've opted to go with the latter, so Ohlendorf will now look to catch on with another organization willing to give the 33-year-old a chance.

Royals' Ross Ohlendorf: Opts out of minor league deal
Ohlendorf opted out of his minor league contract with the Royals on Monday, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports.
Ohlendorf's decision means the Royals have 48 hours to either add him to the active roster or grant him his release. Ohlendorf is a journeyman who struggled early in camp, but he tossed a scoreless frame in each of his last five appearances, so the Royals will at least have some thinking to do.

Royals' Ross Ohlendorf: Inks minor league deal with Royals
Ohlendorf signed a minor league contract with the Royals on Thursday, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.
The Royals signed a trio of major league vets on Thursday, inking Clint Barmes, Brian Duensing, and Ohlendorf to minor league deals. There's no word yet on whether those contracts include invites to the Royals' major league camp, however. Ohlendorf made 21 relief appearances with the Rangers last season, working a 3.72 ERA with 19 strikeouts and seven walks.
