The Reds selected Johnson's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Johnson has put up a healthy .290/.388/.489 batting line with nine home runs, 11 stolen bases and a 26:49 BB:K over 55 games this season with Louisville. The 27-year-old has played mostly at second base and in left field in 2026, but he has experience at every position other than first base, catcher and pitcher. Johnson will be making his major-league debut if he gets into a game.

The Reds placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Myers had to be carted off the field during Monday's game versus the Brewers after he collided with the outfield wall following a terrific catch. X-rays came back negative, but Myers is still being evaluated to determine whether there's additional damage beyond a contusion. The Reds should have more on Myers' status later this week.

The Reds reinstated Pagan (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander is fully recovered from the left hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list in early May, and he's now back on the active roster after making two rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. Pagan had a slow start to the campaign with a 6.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 14 innings while going 6-for-9 in save chances prior to the injury, but he should still reclaim the closer role now that he's healthy.

Bericoto went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Bericoto singled in the second inning and doubled in the fifth before coming around to score San Francisco's first run. The 24-year-old outfielder has logged at least one hit in each of his last five appearances, batting .412 with three RBI, three runs scored and two home runs in 18 plate appearances during that stretch. Overall, he's slashing .286/.306/.571 with four runs scored, four RBI and three long balls across 36 plate appearances this season.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Arraez singled in the third inning and hit a double in the eighth, marking his second straight game with multiple hits. The veteran infielder has recorded at least one hit in all but one of his last 10 appearances, batting .378 with seven runs scored, five RBI and one home run in 43 plate appearances during that span. He's slashing .326/.362/.450 with 42 runs scored, 31 RBI, six stolen bases and three long balls across 349 plate appearances this season.

Lambert (undisclosed) has given up two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out three batters over two innings in two appearances for Triple-A Syracuse since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

The right-handed reliever was shelved for just under a month due to an unspecified injury. Lambert owns a 6.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB across 18 innings on the season with Syracuse.

Triple-A Syracuse placed Pintaro on its 7-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified injury.

Pintaro may have sustained the injury in his most recent appearance Wednesday, when he covered two innings out of the bullpen in one of the Mets' doubleheader games versus the Cubs. The right-hander had been serving as the Mets' 27th man for the twin bill and was returned to Syracuse a day later.

The Mets outrighted Short to Triple-A Syracuse after he cleared waivers Saturday.

Short no longer possesses a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster, but he'll stick around in the organization as infield depth at the Triple-A level. The 31-year-old has appeared in 26 games in the majors this season between the Tigers and Mets, slashing .159/.278/.205 across 55 plate appearances.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Blue Jays.

The star shortstop supplied the only offense for the Mets in a 2-1 loss, taking Trey Yesavage deep in the seventh inning to spoil a shutout bid for Toronto. Lindor has hit safely in three straight games as he regains his form following a two-month layoff due to a calf strain, but on the season he still sports a disappointing .679 OPS with three homers and two steals in 28 contests.

Edwards went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Rockies.

The 26-year-old infielder stole a bag for a second straight game while extending his current hitting streak to eight games. Over that span, Edwards is batting .400 (12-for-30) with a double, a triple, two steals, three RBI and three runs, and on the season he's swiped 13 bags in 16 attempts over 85 contests, keeping him in range of a third straight campaign with 25 or more steals.
