Lutz (elbow) re-signed with the Reds on a minor league contract that does not include an invitation to big league camp at spring training, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old Lutz hasn't had much success in his big league stints and also struggled at Triple-A Louisville the past few years. After missing most of 2015 with an elbow injury, he'll likely be back at Louisville to start the 2016 season.
