Reds Release Dallas Buck
By Zach Links [May 21, 2011 at 4:00pm CST]

The Reds have released right-hander Dallas Buck, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer (via Twitter). Buck never managed to impress while with the Reds organization and posted a 8.50 ERA with 5.2 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 in eight Double-A starts this season.

The release of the 26-year-old means that there are no players remaining from the Adam Dunn deal with the Diamondbacks in 2008. The other two players in the deal are already elsewhere as Micah Owings returned to Arizona this offseason and Wilkin Castillo hooked on with the Braves.

Frazier down already, Carlos Fisher up.

Frazier stay may be the shortest ever — lasted four pitches.

Here's a record of the day's minor moves...

•The Pirates announced that they acquired Steven Jackson from the Reds for a player to be named later. Jackson signed with the Dodgers in March then joined the Reds after Los Angeles released him in May. The 29-year-old played for the Pirates in 2009 and 2010, before they released him last November. He posted a 4.31 ERA with a 28K/28BB ratio in 54 1/3 innings for Pittsburgh in '09-'10, but posted a minor league ERA of 8.44 this year with 6.1 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9.
