Former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Joey Wiemer was claimed off of waivers on Monday by the Miami Marlins after he was designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals last Thursday, according to Craig Mish.

The Reds sent Wiemer and Jonathan India to Kansas City in exchange for Brady Singer over the winter.

Wiemer has not reached the majors with the Royals and slashed just .182/.291/.316 for Triple-A Omaha.

The 26-year-old played in just two games for the Reds last season after being acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers in the Frankie Montas trade.

Wiemer is known for his fantastic defense in the outfield and he played collegiately at the University of Cincinnati.
