Jared Burton has elected free agency. Burton was outrighted off the Reds' 40-man roster on Monday. The 30-year-old right-hander has made just 10 appearances in the majors over the past two seasons and will likely have to accept a minor league deal this winter.

Reds sent RHP Jared Burton outright to Triple-A Louisville. The move clears him from the 40-man roster. Burton, 30, has made just 10 appearances in the majors over the past two seasons due to a multitude of injuries, including shoulder surgery this past April.

Reds recalled RHP Jared Burton from Triple-A Louisville. Burton made three appearances for the Reds in April before undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder. The 30-year-old right-hander had a 4.15 ERA and 11/5 K/BB ratio over 13 innings with Triple-A Louisville. Look for him in a middle relief role.

Reds activated RHP Jared Burton from the 60-day disabled list, optioned him to Triple-A Louisville. Burton, who underwent surgery on his right shoulder back on April 23, posted a 6.92 ERA but struck out over a batter per inning in 10 rehab appearances. He'll likely be called up in September.

Jared Burton (shoulder) has rejoined the Reds after completing a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville, but he has not be activated from the disabled list. "He's been throwing better," manager Dusty Baker said. "But he's on one day and a little off the next." Burton, who has been out since undergoing surgery on his right shoulder back on April 23, posted a 6.92 ERA but struck out over a batter per inning in 10 rehab appearances. It sounds like the Reds might have him throw a few bullpen sessions before likely activating him next month when the rosters expand.

Jared Burton (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Louisville. Burton is currently working his way back from arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in April. He made three rehab appearances with the Arizona League Reds and was working between 91-94 mph on his fastball in his most recent outing on Monday. The Reds are hoping he can contribute at some point later this summer.

Jared Burton (shoulder) will report to the Reds' spring training facility in Arizona Sunday to continue his rehab. He was supposed to head to the desert on June 12, but he says it wasn't a setback that made him push it back a week. "I pushed it back a week," he said. "I wanted to work on my arm strength some more before I threw live BP. I threw a couple of more bullpens. Every thing feels good." The Reds hope Burton, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder in April, can help out sometime in the second half.
