The Reds claimed Solesky off waivers from the Rays on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.
Solesky was removed from Tampa Bay's 40-man roster Monday after the team acquired Tyler Wells from the Orioles ahead of the trade deadline. Now in a new organization, Solesky will stay put at Triple-A level, where he's accumulated a 7.03 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 56.1 innings this season.

Rotowire
The Rays designated Solesky for assignment Monday.
Solesky ended up losing his spot on the 40-man roster after the Rays needed to clear room for trade-deadline pickup Tyler Wells. The 28-year-old righty made a three-inning relief appearance in his MLB debut for the Rays back in May but has pitched exclusively at Triple-A Durham ever since. Over 24 appearances (seven starts) at Durham, Solesky owns a 7.03 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB in 56.1 innings.

Rays' Chase Solesky: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rays optioned Solesky to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Solesky was called up for his first taste of the majors this week and will return to Durham without making his big-league debut. The 28-year-old remains on the 40-man roster, but that may not last long given his 6.57 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 24.2 innings at Triple-A this year.

Rays' Chase Solesky: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Rays selected Solesky from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The right-hander joined the Rays as a non-roster invitee in January and will now get his first look in the big leagues. Solesky has struggled to a 6.57 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB across 24.2 frames (six starts) with Durham this year, so he'll likely be limited to a low-leverage relief role while up with Tampa Bay.
