CODY REED NEWS

Becomes free agent Reed rejected an outright assignment to the minors Friday and elected free agency, radio broadcaster Steve Carney reports.

Impact Reed recorded a 3.72 ERA in 9.2 innings for the Rays before spending most of the season on the injured list, first with a thumb injury and then following thoracic outlet surgery. He looked good in seven rehab outings to end the year, striking out 12 batters over 7.1 scoreless innings, so he'll seemingly be at full health heading into next season.

Impact Reed was impressive over his 13 pitches, throwing eight for strikes in his third one-inning outing for the Bulls over a six-day period. The right-hander has recorded a 4:0 K:BB over the last pair of appearances as well, and he's certainly building up plenty of momentum heading into the offseason ahead of what should be a spring training without restrictions in 2022.
