The Reds recalled Legumina from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Frankie Montas (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Legumina made 11 appearances out of the Cincinnati bullpen in 2023 but has pitched exclusively for Louisville through the first month of the season, logging a 4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB in 10 innings. He'll likely handle a low-leverage relief role while he's up with Cincinnati.

Reds' Casey Legumina: Activated and optioned
Rotowire
The Reds reinstated Legumina (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.
Legumina struck out two over four shutout innings across four appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and the Triple-A club during his rehab assignment, but the Reds didn't have room from him in the bullpen even though he had moved past a right ankle contusion. He'll stick around in Louisville but should rank near the top of the list for a call-up the next time Cincinnati requires an extra right-handed reliever.
