 Slater has dealt with injuries in recent years. He underwent arthroscopic right elbow surgery last October and dealt with hamstring strings and a bout of vertigo last season. And he had a slow start this year, but has been a reliable pinch hitter. Young pitched just two innings over three appearances for the Reds this year. He previously played for the Giants in 2022 after being acquired from the Guardians and also with Arizona from 2019 to 21.
