The move was first reported by Jon Heyman of MLB Network and has now been made official. Cabrera has put up a .244/.324/.392 batting line with seven home runs over 90 games in the minors this season. The 35-year-old will give the Reds some defensive versatility and a veteran presence with plenty of postseason experience.

The D-backs will get a little salary relief and the Reds will add a versatile infielder as they chase a playoff spot. Cabrera, 35, has batted .244/.324/.392 with seven home runs over 90 games for Arizona this season.

Cabrera remains serviceable, but one wonders if the Diamondbacks are really best served by using him so frequently at the expense of younger players. He's fourth on the team in plate appearances this month. Meanwhile, Pavin Smith and Josh Van Meter both were benched against a righty tonight.

Cabrera has been out since early July due to a right hamstring strain. He'll take over the vacated roster spot of infielder Josh Rojas, who has been sent to the injured list due to a dislocated finger. The 35-year-old journeyman infielder is hitting .240/.332/.385 with five homers and one steal across 223 plate appearances this season.
