Bracho cleared waivers for the second time in a minor. He has the right to become a free agent, but his best path back to the majors is probably to remain with the Reds.

Bracho tossed two innings and struck out two on Saturday but was removed from the Reds roster to make room for Randy Wynns. Bracho was designated for assignment earlier this year, so there is a strong possibility he will pass through waviers unclaimed again.

Bracho gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings for the Reds last month before being designated for assignment and clearing waivers. He'll rejoin the bullpen as a middle reliever.

Bracho went unclaimed on waivers and will remain with the Reds as extra organizational relief depth. The 30-year-old righty made four relief appearances for Cincinnati before being designated for assignment earlier this week.
