Quote:The Reds have claimed infielder/outfielder Arismendy Alcantara off waivers from the Athletics, Cincinnati announced. Fellow utility option Patrick Kivlehan who was claimed just eight days ago from the Padres was designated for assignment to clear roster space.
Alcantara, 24, was once one of the more well-regarded prospects in the Cubs minor league ranks, but his promising production at Double-A and Triple-A as a 21-year-old and 22-year-old, respectively, hasn't carried over to the big league level.
