Guillon has passed through waivers and will be outrighted to Triple-A Louisville, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. He also received an invite to spring training. | ||||||
Guillon hasn't played above High-A ball in his career, so this jump over Double-A into Louisville and the big-league camp implies the Reds will try him as a reliever. His stuff from the left side could play in the majors, since relieving should mitigate his control issues. | ||||||

Guillon has been designated for assignment by the Reds to make room for Burke Badenhop, the team announced. | ||||||
Guillon has never pitched above A-ball, so this isn't exactly a step back for him. Reports on his stuff from the left side and lack of command could make him a possible player to pick up in the Rule 5 Draft and give a shot in the bullpen, but the Reds have likely calculated that isn't a big risk. | ||||||
| Mon Jun 9 2014 | 14:33 | Guillon fans nine in seven innings | ||||
Reds prospect LHP Ismael Guillon allowed two earned runs with nine strikeouts in seven innings on Sunday for Low-A Dayton. | ||||||
He allowed four hits and walked one batter in the outing. The 22-year-old southpaw has made strides this season in his second tour of the Midwest League, registering a 2.79 ERA and 67-24 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 61 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, Guillon's outstanding changeup, which is widely considered to be one of the best in the minor leagues, has helped him strike out right-handed batters at a 29.5% clip while holding them to a .160 batting average. | ||||||

| Thu Apr 24 2014 | 08:37 | Reds LHP prospect Guillon whiffs 11 | ||||
Reds left-handed prospect Ismael Guillon fanned 11 batters in seven shutout innings on Wednesday for Low-A Dayton. | ||||||
Guillon is in the Midwest League for the third consecutive season. There were indications that the Reds were going to promote him to Double-A Pensacola to start the season, but he ended up back in Dayton. Guillon should see a promotion soon, though it could be to High-A Bakersfield and not Double-A. He sports a 1.16 ERA and 9.6 K/9 for the season, so it will be interesting to see if he can maintain his level of success in the event of a promotion. | ||||||
