Busenitz, 34, owns a 5-2 record with one save and a 3.93 ERA in 40 appearances (two starts) this season with Louisville. He is 5-2 with a 4.36 ERA in 57 career relief appearances with the Minnesota Twins (2017-18) and Reds (2023).
Wynns, 33, is 7-for-19 (.368) in seven games in his first season with the Reds.
He is a career .230 hitter with 13 home runs and 63 RBIs in 238 games over parts of six seasons with the Baltimore Orioles (2018-19, 2021), San Francisco Giants (2022-23), Los Angeles Dodgers (2023), Colorado Rockies (2023) and Reds.
