2008 All-Star pitcher Edinson Volquez was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and will start tonight against the Colorado Rockies.
To make room on the 40-man roster, Mike Lincoln was transfered from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
Matt Maloney was optioned to Louisville in the International League.
"He will probably have some anxiety," Dusty Baker said. "Sometimes when you've been shooting for a goal for a long time, you get anxious when you finally get there. I imagine after the first couple hitters that will go away."
Volquez built up to 95 pitches in his rehab starts so the Reds aren't too concerned about how far he goes.
"It depends on how stressful his innings are," Baker said. "It is not hero time right out of the gate. He has to be honest with us."
