Brach (undisclosed) is on the restricted list at Triple-A Gwinnett and won't pitch again this season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old joined Atlanta on a minor-league deal in March and posted a 4.88 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 24 innings for Gwinnett, but he was placed on the restricted list in late June and won't return to the mound in 2022. Brach appeared in 35 games for the Reds last season, and it's unclear if he's opted to retire or if he's just stepping away for the rest of the season.

Brach signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Sunday that includes an invitation to major-league camp, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brach appeared in 35 games for the Reds last season and had a 6.30 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB in 30 innings before being cut in September. The veteran righty has 34 career saves and previously filled a high-leverage role for Baltimore, but he hasn't produced with much consistency since 2018.

The Reds released Brach on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran righty went unclaimed after being designated for assignment Monday and now becomes a free agent. Brach's 6.30 ERA and 33:18 K:BB in 30 innings this season is unlikely to make him a hot commodity in these last couple weeks before the postseason.

Brach was designated for assignment by the Reds on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brach has allowed four runs (three earned) in one inning of work, split across two appearances, since he returned from a shoulder injury in early September. He now owns a 6.30 ERA on the season. He'll make way for Kyle Farmer to return from the paternity list.

Brach (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Brach has been sidelined nearly a month by right shoulder inflammation, but he'll rejoin the Reds on Sunday after completing a two-game rehab stint with Triple-A Louisville. The veteran right-hander has a 5.59 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB across 29 innings out of the bullpen for Cincinnati this year.

Brach (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brach threw a side session Saturday and has now been cleared to return to game action. The right-hander has been sidelined since Aug. 8 due to a right shoulder impingement but could rejoin the major-league club after a relatively brief rehab assignment.

Brach (shoulder) threw a side session Saturday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville during the upcoming week, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brach has been on the shelf since Aug. 8 with a right shoulder impingement, but he looks to be honing in on a return to the active roster. The Reds will presumably want to see him make at least one or two appearances at Louisville before adding him back to their bullpen.

Brach (shoulder) has advanced to bullpen mound sessions after beginning a throwing program last week, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. "He could be [ready] closer to Sept. 1, or so," Reds manager David Bell said. "[It was a] much-needed break, good thing is it was something he can come back from."

EDGE Analysis

With the Reds losing Tejay Antone again, they could really use the extra depth from Brach, though it's likely his appearances will come in lower-leveraged situations than before the injury.

The Reds placed Brach on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder impingement.

EDGE Analysis

Cincinnati will swap Brach out of its bullpen for Lucas Sims (elbow), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Brach has mostly been working in a setup capacity this season, collecting one save and 10 holds while turning in a 5.59 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 29 innings.

Despite allowing a run in the seventh inning Monday against the Cubs, Brach recorded his ninth hold of the season.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs scratched runs against the Reds in each of the final three innings to complete the comeback win. Brach has nine holds and a save, but his ratios (4.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) tell the better story - future success on your roster is unlikely.
