Reds' Alan Busenitz: Clears waivers
The Reds outrighted Busenitz to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Since he's already been outrighted previously, Busenitz had the ability to elect free agency, but he'll instead remain in the Reds organization as a depth arm at Louisville. Over 41 appearances (two starts) with Louisville this season, Busenitz has turned in a 3.79 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 53:18 K:BB across 57 innings.

Reds' Alan Busenitz: Added to roster
The Reds selected Busenitz's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Busenitz had a cup of coffee with the Reds in 2023 but has spent all of 2024 at Louisville, collecting a 3.79 ERA and 53:18 K:BB over 57 innings. The 34-year-old will likely operate in middle relief, although he could work as a bulk reliever behind an opener to fill the rotation spot of Andrew Abbott (shoulder) after Busenitz was stretched out to four innings and 45 pitches in his last appearance for Louisville on Aug. 17.

Reds' Alan Busenitz: Added to 40-man roster
Busenitz struck out two over two perfect innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals after the Reds selected his contract from Triple-A Louisville prior to the contest.
The Reds optioned Carson Spiers to the minors to open up a spot on 28-man active roster for Busenitz ahead of the season finale. Busenitz thus closes the season with a spot on the Reds' 40-man roster, though he may find himself on the chopping block once Cincinnati reinstates players from the 60-day injured list over the offseason. The 33-year-old right-hander made six relief appearances at the big-league level in 2023, posting a 2.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across seven innings.
