The Cincinnati Reds announced on Tuesday the players that they are inviting to Major League Spring Training camp.

• RHP - Tejay Antone
• C - Will Banfield
• IF - Michael Chavis
• RHP - Hagen Danner
• IF/OF - Garrett Hampson
• RHP - Lyon Richardson
• RHP - Carson Spiers
• IF - Michael Toglia
• LHP - Joel Valdez

There are no real surprises on this list. Tejay Antone is a feel-good story, coming off of three Tommy John surgeries.

“When that [injury] happens, I want to be a resource for kids and a resource for other athletes going through it so they can come back stronger," he told MLB.com's Mark Sheldon last season.

He appeared in 15 games between High-A Dayton, Double-A Chattanooga, and Triple-A Louisville last season.

Lyon Richardson was recently designated for assignment, but cleared waivers and returned. Michael Toglia was recently signed to a minor league deal and has intriguing upside as a former first-round draft pick. The slugger hit 25 home runs in 2024 with the Colorado Rockies.
