Kolozsvary was added to the Reds' taxi squad Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Kolozsvary was sent to the minors in late March, but he'll travel with the Reds during their current road trip on the West Coast. He's appeared in four games at Double-A Chattanooga this year and has hit .100 with four runs, two RBI, four walks and four strikeouts.

McGuire is starting Saturday's game against the Rays, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The 27-year-old was traded from the Blue Jays to the White Sox prior to the regular season, and he's had sporadic playing time while playing behind Yasmani Grandal. McGuire has gone 2-for-9 with a run, a walk and three strikeouts in three appearances this year, and he'll start behind the dish Saturday while Grandal serves as the designated hitter.

Contreras went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

Contreras got a breather for Thursday's series opener, but he quickly took advantage of Coors Field on Friday. The Chicago catcher is off to a nice start, batting .389 with a 1.222 OPS through five games. He's only driven in two runs across those contests, but if Contreras keeps hitting like this, the counting stats should follow.
