The Cincinnati Reds optioned Lyon Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday and called up right-handed pitcher Yosver Zulueta.

After Richardson pitched three innings on Wednesday, this is simply a way to get a fresh arm in the bullpen with the Reds not having another off day until May 12.

Zulueta appeared in 12 games for the Reds in 2024 with a 4.96 ERA. He struck out 20 and walked seven over 16 1/3 innings.

Richardson appeared in two games for Cincinnati this season and gave up one run over four innings of work.
