With a problematic shoulder, Scott Rolen probably will be on the shelf for awhile as the Cincinnati Reds placed him on the 15-day disabled list. Third base, as things stand at the moment, is probably a weak spot for Cincinnati; Rolen had two sortisone shots, but even that wasn’t enough to have him at the [...]

Hermida Called Up From Louisville, Francisco Placed On DL
The Reds on Monday placed backup third baseman and primary lefty pinch-hitter Juan Francisco on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left calf. Outfielder Jeremy Hermida had his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville to replace Francisco on the bench. To clear space for Hermida on the 40-man roster, reliever Jared Burton (right shoulder inflammation) [...]
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. Pinch everything,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “He told me two months ago if [...]
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. [...]
Reds Send Volquez To Dayton, Add Nix To DL
August 31st, 2010 Stephen Rhodes Posted in 2010 Dayton Dragons (Midwest League) News, Injuries, Reds Locker Room, Roster Update The Reds needed to make roster moves Tuesday to clear space for Aroldis Chapman and right-hander Aaron Harang, who came off the disabled list to start against the Brewers. They placed outfielder Laynce Nix on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 26, and optioned right-hander Edinson Volquez to Class A Dayton, according to Mark [...]
Tired Shoulder Lands Leake On DL, Francisco Called Up
It never occurred to me that Mike Leake was ever overused as a starting pitcher – now relief pitcher. I am not to suggest that overuse was a culprit, but Leake will have time to sit and let his throwing shoulder rest. The Cincinnati Reds, mindful of the importance of Leake to the team, placed [...]
Mudcats’ Cochran Moved To DL
August 20th, 2010 Stephen Rhodes Posted in 2010 Carolina Mudcats (Southern League) News, 2010 Lynchburg Hillcats (Carolina League) News, Reds Transactions The Cincinnati Reds have made a pair of transactions impacting their Double-A affiliate Carolina Mudcats prior to tonight’s game with the Mobile BayBears. LHP Tom Cochran has been placed on the disabled list, with RHP Jordan Hotchkiss joining the Mudcats from High-A Lynchburg.
