Reds' Jose Barrero: Advances to Triple-A
Barrero will make his Triple-A debut for Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Barrero jumped all the way from High-A to the big leagues last season but looked overmatched, hitting .194/.206/.194 in 68 plate appearances. He's back on a standard development track this season. His promotion to Triple-A is well earned based on his performance at Double-A Chattanooga, where he hit .300/.367/.481 with six homers and eight steals in 40 games.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Shut down from swinging
Seager (hand) has been experiencing soreness when swinging a bat and has been shut down from hitting for now, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Manager Dave Roberts stated that Seager's hand "just isn't responding" as the team had hoped, and as a result, he hasn't swung a bat since last week, per DiGiovanna. "We're going to put hitting on back-burner and slow play it right now," stated Roberts. At this point, there is no clear timetable for Seager's return.
