The Reds on Friday acquired infielder/outfielder Connor Joe from the San Diego Padres for Minor League right-hander Andrew Moore and cash considerations. Joe has spent the most of this season with Triple-A El Paso where he hit .267 and drove in four runs in 16 games. He appeared in seven games for the Padres this season and went 0-for-9. In a corresponding move, the Reds transferred Tyler Calihan to the 60-day injured list.
