A former San Diego Padres pitcher has been designated for assignment by a struggling National League team.
Pitcher Brett Kennedy, a former San Diego Padres prospect, has been designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds.The Friars drafted Kennedy in the 11th round of the 2015 MLB Draft. He got his first shot in the big leagues three years later, at age 23. The left-hander recorded a 1-2 record with a 6.75 ERA , and a 6.31 FIP in 26.2 innings and six starts. The Padres released him in Sept. 2021.
The transaction was used to free up a spot on the Reds' 26- and 40-man rosters for the return of southpaw pitcher Alex Young. Kennedy was only on the active roster in Cincinnati for less than a week; however, he has been in the Reds' organization since May 2023. In 2023, Kennedy logged a 4.81 ERA, 72 strikeouts, and a 1.50 WHIP in 78.2 innings and 17 appearances with 16 starts at Triple-A Louisville.
Kennedy re-signed with the Reds on a minor league deal in the offseason. However, his numbers in 2024 were atrocious. He recorded a 1-5 record with a 6.86 ERA and allowed a .277 average in 40.2 innings and eight starts.
