The Reds have designated right-hander Lyon Richardson for assignment. Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer was among the first to report the move, which will make room for on the 40-man roster. Myers was acquired from Miami via trade earlier today. It's the second DFA of the day for Cincinnati, after Keegan Thompson met the same fate to free up a spot for free agent addition.
To clear a 40-man roster spot for reliever Kyle Finnegan, the Tigers have designated outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy for assignment. It's the first DFA in Malloy's young career. He appeared in 52 games with Detroit last season. Detroit acquired Malloy and lefty Jake Higginbotham from Atlanta in a December 2022 trade that sent right-hander Joe Jimenez to the Braves. Jimenez has dealt with injury issues, but has provided strong work in the Atlanta bullpen when healthy.
