In June, Dietrich set a major league record when he was hit by a pitch six times in the first three games of a four-game series vs. the Milwaukee Brewers.
After the season he cleared waivers and was sent to the Louisville Bats.
Dietrich spent his first six seasons with the Miami Marlins.
The Reds also invited infielder Blake Trahan to Major League camp.
