Chris Heisey Going On A Rehab Assignment






Outfielder Chris Heisey is going to test his right hamstring in a rehab assignment on Monday..

The right-handed hitter has been sidelined since April 29 when he pulled it trying to beat a relay on a double-play ball in Washington the day before.  He is eligible to come off Tuesday May 14 in Miami.

Heisey was hitting .173 in 23 games before being injured. He hit two home runs and drove in five runs.

"We need him," Dusty Baker said.  "He was hitting as well as he wanted or we wanted but we need the right-handed bat in the late innings."

The Reds recalled Donald Lutz, who hits left-handed, to take Heisey's place.

The move leaves the Reds with only a catcher hittinge exclusively from the right side on the bench. Cesar Izturis and Derreck Robinson are switch hitters.  Izturis is hitting .333 from the right side but only has six at bats.  Robinson is hitting .400 right-handed in just 10 at bats.
