The Reds announced this afternoon that they’ve signed Darren McCaughan to a minor league contract. McCaughan is a 29-year-old swingman who has pitched parts of four seasons in the majors. He has a combined 20 appearances across four teams. McCaughan posted solid strikeout and walk numbers but was plagued by the longball, giving up 20 homers (nearly two per nine innings). He’s unlikely to break camp on a talented Cincinnati pitching staff but should be available as a non-roster depth option at Triple-A Louisville.
