Reds' Steve Selsky: DFA'd by Reds

Selsky was designated for assignment Thursday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 27-year-old pieced together an .822 OPS during a solid campaign with Triple-A Louisville, but he struggled mightily in the majors outside of one 5-for-5 anomaly in September. The move to boot him from the 40-man roster was initiated in order to make room for recently-acquired Luis Castillo and Austin Brice, so it seems that Selsky is seen as little more than an organizational depth piece in the Reds' eyes.
