Edmonds Taken Off DL
On Monday, outfielder Jim Edmonds had yet to pick up a bat and was unable to throw without pain because of a torn right oblique muscle. That’s why it was somewhat stunning when Edmonds was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Friday, the first day he was eligible, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. [...]
Reds Ready To Use Leake In A Pinch
The Reds activated pitcher Mike Leake from the 15-day disabled list on Friday to do just about anything but pitch. Leake had been on the DL since Aug. 27 with right arm fatigue. “Leake will fit in to pinch-hit, pinch-run, pinch-bunt.

Reds’ World Series Odds Broken Down
Once upon a time in a game called baseball, athletes—then simply called players—marched out onto the field with a simplistic bat, basic gear, and a huge amount of respect for the game.

Edmonds’ Chances Of Return To Reds Shrinking Daily
Although he’s doing what he can to return before the season ends, things don’t look too optimistic for outfielder Jim Edmonds. Originally on the 15-day disabled list with what was listed as a strained right oblique, the 40-year-old revealed he has a tear in the muscle, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. “I’m trying, but [...]
Wanted: Outfielders
It’s ironic that rosters are expanded and yet the Reds find themselves strapped for a healthy outfielder. Right fielder Jay Bruce missed his fourth consecutive game Saturday with a sore right side, and manager Dusty Baker didn’t expect Bruce back Sunday, and possibly not for the start of the next series at Colorado on Monday.
