Ramon Hernandez right knee has healed. He was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list and will give Joey Votto a rest by manning first base.
Corky Miller was assigned outright to Louisville which means he needs to clear waivers. Any team can claim his contract. If they don't the Reds keep his services.
"It was a tough decision," Dusty Baker said. "He played well. On the selfish side, you hope he clears waivers. If he is claimed you are happy for him. He really improved as a hitter."
Baker has been trying to rest Votto since he didn't get an All-Star break. Hernandez covered for Votto at firstbase last season while Votto was out of action.
"Ramon has been working at firstbase the last couple days to get ready," Baker said.
