PHOENIX -- After weeks of speculation, pitcher Micah Owings officially became the third player acquired by the Reds in the trade that sent Adam Dunn to the Diamondbacks.
Owings will join the Reds on Friday. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, second baseman Brandon Phillips (broken right index finger) was placed on the 60-day disabled list.
Owings, 25, was 6-9 with a 5.93 ERA in 18 starts and four relief appearances for Arizona this season before he was demoted to Triple-A Tucson on July 29.
On Aug. 11, the Reds dealt Dunn to the Diamondbacks for utility player Wilkin Castillo, Minor League pitcher Dallas Buck and a third player to be named. Owings' inclusion was held up because of an oblique injury which prohibited him from being placed on waivers. All players dealt after July 31 must first clear waivers.
I think this will turn out to be a good deal for the Reds!:beerbang:
