The Cincinnati Reds sent right-handed relief pitcher Luis Mey to Triple-A Louisville after Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angles.

The 24-year-old has been up and down multiple times this season. He has a 3.43 ERA in 23 games for the Reds this season. However, he has walked 17 batters in just 21 innings.

Mey has really good stuff, but he isn't able to throw it consistently for strikes.

The Reds have yet to announce a corresponding roster move. It will most likely be announced on Friday ahead of their series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Reds are 67-61 and currently just one game back of the New York Mets for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.
