Cincinnati Reds utility man Connor Joe was activated from the injured list on Monday and outfielder Rece Hinds was optioned to Triple-A Louisville.

Joe had been on the injured list since the middle of June with hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Rece Hinds has really struggled since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville. The outfielder is hitting just .119 with an OPS of .425 in 14 games this season with Cincinnati.

Joe is slashing .245/.304/.327 with four extra-base hits since the Reds traded for him from the San Diego Padres.
