Reds sign IF Chris Dominguez to minor-league deal

The Reds signed former University of Louisville All-American Chris Dominguez to a minor-league deal with an invitation to big league camp, the team announced on Wednesday.

Dominguez made his big-league debut last season for the Giants, playing eight games for San Francisco. In his 17 plate appearances in the big leagues, he had just one hit — a home run. He was released by the Giants last week.

A third-round pick in the 2009 draft, the 28-year-old hit .274/.307/.460 with 21 home runs at Triple-A Fresno last season. With the Grizzlies, he played five different positions — third base, first base, shortstop, left field and right field. He's a .278/.312/.446 hitter at Triple-A.

A right-handed hitter, Dominguez has 94 home runs in parts of six seasons in the minors.
