Out of options Aquino is out of options heading into the 2021 season, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact While an arbitrator ruled Wednesday that Jose De Leon and Cionel Perez will each have a fourth minor-league option in 2021, Aquino is now out of options. The decision makes it more likely that Aquino will begin the season in the majors since the Reds would need to place the 26-year-old on waivers if they wanted to send him to the minors. Aquino is hitting .241 with five extra-base hits, two RBI, two runs, three walks and eight strikeouts this spring.

Impact Normally all three would be out of options, but a grievance has been filed because last season was shorter than the 90 days normally required for an option year. Aquino is hitting .222/.323/.407 in 31 plate appearances so far this spring. One of his competitors for the last outfield spot on the roster, Scott Heineman, just got optioned to Triple-A Louisville.

Optioned after win Aquino was optioned to Cincinnati's alternate training site following Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact Aquino will head back down to make room for Nick Senzel, who served as the 29th man Monday. Aquino is hitting .179 with a home run and five RBI over 15 contests this season for the Reds.

Connects for first home run Aquino went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run off the bench in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Aquino's first homer of the year gave the Reds some insurance in the ninth and made things easier for Raisel Iglesias. One of the top stories in all of baseball last August, Aquino fizzled down the stretch last season and did not make the team out of summer camp. He has not been playing much since his latest recall, logging just 17 at-bats since Aug. 31, but this showing should at least earn him a start in one half of Monday's doubleheader.

Sent back to minors The Reds optioned Aquino to their alternate training site after Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs.
Impact Cincinnati designated Aquino as the 29th man for the twin bill, so he was never expected to stay up with the big club beyond Saturday. He reached base in both of his plate appearances during the doubleheader, singling and drawing a walk.

Optioned to alternate camp Aquino was optioned to the Reds' alternate training site Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact Aquino was on the 30-man roster over the past week while the Reds dealt with several absences from their lineup, but he'll head back to develop at the alternate training site. The 26-year-old appeared in five games during his most recent stint in the big leagues, going 2-for-8 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base. He should be one of the Reds' top options to call up if they're in need of assistance again this year.
