Cincinnati Reds RP J.J. Hoover was optioned to Class AAA Louisville Wednesday, June 29.

Fantasy Tip: Hoover has been awful all year despite the team essentially handing him the closer role to open the year. He has a 13.50 ERA and allowed 10 runs in his last two outings. He could receive one more shot later in the season if Tony Cingrani falters, but he shouldn't be owned for now.

Chicago Cubs 2B/SS/OF Javier Baez went hitless in his first six at-bats Tuesday, June 28, but made up for a lousy night at the plate with one swing, jumping on a 1-2 fastball from Cincinnati Reds RP J.J. Hoover in the 15th inning and sending it over the fence in center for his first career grand slam.

Fantasy Tip: The 15th-inning grand slam is the latest such hit by a Cub in team history. Baez hasn't seen the kind of playing time some had hoped this spring and especially after Kyle Schwarber was lost for the season, so he's been a bit of a disappointment despite the fact he can play so many positions. He's still valuable enough to keep on most fantasy rosters but should be riding the bench in most leagues.

Cincinnati Reds 2B Jose Peraza and RP J.J. Hoover were recalled from Class AAA Louisville Tuesday, June 14. In corresponding moves, P Daniel Wright was optioned to Louisville and INF/C Jordan Pacheco (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder tendinitis.

Fantasy Tip: Peraza is a notable Reds second base prospect, but he didn't show well after being called up earlier this year. He'll get another chance, but it remains to be seen how much he'll play. He's worth a pickup in deep mixed and NL-only leagues for his speed, mainly. Hoover entered the year as the favorite to close, but his ghastly numbers (14.34 ERA, 2.34 WHIP, six homers allowed) got him demoted quickly. He's unlikely to pitch in high-leverage situations.

The Cincinnati Reds have demoted RP J.J. Hoover to Class AAA Louisville.

Fantasy Tip: Hoover began the 2016 season as the Reds' ninth-inning man but went 0-1 with a 14.34 ERA in 12 appearances. The club is using a closer-by-committee setup for the time being, with Tony Cingrani, Caleb Cotham and Ross Ohlendorf serving as the most likely candidates to receive save opportunities. These pitchers should be rostered in NL-only fantasy formats or by owners who are desperate for saves.

Cincinnati Reds RP J.J. Hoover allowed four runs on five hits while recording just two outs in an 8-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs Friday, April 22, in his first appearance since he was told by manager Bryan Price that he will no longer be pitching exclusively in the ninth inning.

Fantasy Tip: Hoover's ERA sits at 19.50, and if it weren't for the state of Cincinnati bullpen, he would be out the closer conversation completely. As it stands, he could still find his way to some save chances and is worth hanging on to in deeper mixed and NL-only formats.
