McCambley, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound right-hander, has pitched 26.2 innings in Triple-A this season. He has a 2.36 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.
Hinds has a .172 average and seven home runs in 51 career MLB games but has hit 92 home runs in 474 games in the minors. He had a sizzling spring training for the Reds in Arizona, hitting .410 with five homers in 21 games.
