The Cincinnati Reds announced on Tuesday that Alex Young has been activated from the 60-day injured list and they have designated Brett Kennedy for assignment.

Young has been on the injured list since having a setback in spring training. He has yet to pitch for the Reds this season.

In 2023, Young pitched in 63 games for the Reds, throwing 53.3 innings. He had a 3.86 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP to go along with 50 strikeouts.

The Reds have used their bullpen a lot over the past two games and having a fresh arm in Cincinnati was needed.
