GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Reliever Scott Barlow and the Cincinnati Reds agreed to a one-year contract that includes a club option for 2026.

Cincinnati announced the deal on Thursday. Right-hander Julian Aguiar, expected to miss the entire season while recovering from Tommy John surgery last October, was placed on the 60-day injured list.

Barlow has pitched in 365 big league games, all in relief, over the past seven seasons. He has a 23-21 career record and 58 saves with a 3.49 ERA, and 461 strikeouts in 387 innings.

The 32-year-old right-hander was 3-3 with a 4.25 ERA in 63 appearances for Cleveland last season, when he struck out 68 batters in 55 innings before being released in mid-September. He began his career with Kansas City in 2018, was traded to San Diego during the 2023 season and then dealt to the Guardians the following offseason.
