Jay Bruce Scratched From Sunday Lineup

The Reds scratched Jay Bruce from the starting lineup on Sunday with soreness in his left knee.

Chris Heisey was inserted into the lineup batting cleanup against Milwaukee starter and former Red Kyle Lohse.

At this time there are no details about the injury or how it occurred.  The Reds have an off day on Monday, fly to Boston for games at Fenway Park on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Then have a day off on Thursday before they return to play a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies.

The Reds are still without Billy Hamilton who jammed two fingers on his left hand.  He is available for light duty, pinch running, defense and should return to action shortly.

Skip Schumaker, fresh off the disabled list, is getting his first start as a Red.  Schumaker will lead off and play centerfield.
