Rejoins big club
Legumina was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Activated and optioned
The Reds reinstated Legumina (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.
ANALYSIS
Legumina struck out two over four shutout innings across four appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and the Triple-A club during his rehab assignment, but the Reds didn't have room from him in the bullpen even though he had moved past a right ankle contusion. He'll stick around in Louisville but should rank near the top of the list for a call-up the next time Cincinnati requires an extra right-handed reliever.

Moves rehab to Triple-A

On throwing program
Legumina (shoulder) threw a side session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Legumina is currently on a throwing program at the team's training complex in Goodyear (Ariz.).

Cleared for rehab assignment
Legumina (ankle) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville.
ANALYSIS
Legumina is recovered from the right ankle contusion that sent him to the injured list in mid-May and could be an option again for the Reds' bullpen by the weekend. He had pitched to a 4.35 ERA with nine strikeouts in 10.1 innings of relief for Cincinnati prior to the IL stint.

Dispatched to minors
The Reds optioned Legumina to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Legumina was sent back to the minors to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Levi Stoudt, who was activated from the taxi squad ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Rays.

Dealt to Cincinnati
The Twins traded Legumina to the Reds on Friday in exchange for infielder Kyle Farmer, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Days after adding him to the 40-man roster, Minnesota has dealt Legumina for immediate help. The 6-foot-2 righty is 25 and had an ERA close to 5.00 at the Double-A level last season, but Legumina has shown strikeout potential as well as versatility pitching between the rotation and bullpen.
