Romine was released Saturday by the Reds, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romine was a non-roster invitee that signed with the Reds in December. The veteran backstop went 3-for-15 in Cactus League play with one home run. He's now free to join another organization, and could see interest from a club looking for depth at catcher.

Romine signed with the Reds as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Romine appeared in his 11th big-league season last year, spending time with the Angels, Cardinals and Reds. He didn't make much of an impression with any of his three clubs, hitting a combined .155/.187/.248 in 51 games. He fits best as organizational depth at this point in his career.

Romine will sit Tuesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Romine has had a slight edge in playing time over Tuesday's catcher Chuckie Robinson down the stretch, but he hasn't done nearly enough at the plate to have meaningful fantasy value even in very deep formats. In 36 games as a Red this season, he's hit .143/.170/.264.

Romine will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Romine will make his third start in four games, despite going 0-for-6 over the weekend to bring his season-long batting average down to .156. The other catcher on the Reds' active roster, Chuckie Robinson, is slashing .107/.107/.196 over 56 plate appearances on the season, which likely explains why Romine is getting the larger share of playing time between the two despite his own lowly production.

Romine is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Romine is on the bench for the third time in four games and may have been overtaken on the depth chart at catcher by Chuckie Robinson. Both backstops could soon lose out on opportunities, as Aramis Garcia (finger) started up a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville over the weekend and could be activated from the 60-day injured list in the coming days.

Romine isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Romine will be on the bench for a second consecutive game after he went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts Thursday. Chuckie Robinson is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

Romine isn't starting Friday against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Romine has alternated starts behind the plate recently and will get a breather Friday after going 0-for-9 with five strikeouts over his last three games. Chuckie Robinson will take over at catcher and bat ninth.

Romine isn't starting Wednesday against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Romine is on the bench for the third time in the last five matchups after he went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over his last two games. Chuckie Robinson will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

Romine is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Romine is 3-for-13 with a solo home run, two additional runs and six strikeouts in his past four games and will head to the bench Sunday. Chuckie Robinson will start behind the plate in the series finale versus St. Louis.

Romine isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romine went 3-for-9 with a solo home run, three runs, a walk and four strikeouts over the last three games. Chuckie Robinson is starting behind the plate and batting ninth during Saturday's matinee.
