August 6, 2020 12:07 PM : The Reds optioned VanMeter to their alternate training site Thursday.
Analysis: The Reds already had five left-handed hitters in their regular lineup, so VanMeter was rendered somewhat redundant as a lefty bench bat. He didn't help his case for sticking around by going hitless in his first 14 at-bats of the season while striking out seven times.
