Raisel Iglesias To Start Wednesday For Reds Against Braves



http://donatelifeohio.org/



The Reds will summon Cuban born Raisel Iglesias to start against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

The Reds don't want any of its pitchers to start on three days rest and former starter Tony Cingrani has had an increased role out of the bullpen lately.

Jason Marquis would have started on Wednesday but his start was backed up by Friday's rainout in Chicago.  The Reds will throw Johnny Cueto to open the four-game series against the World Champion San Francisco Giants that starts on Thursday.  Marquis will back up to Friday.

Iglesias started the April 12th game against the St. Louis Cardinals, a 7-5 loss in 11 innings.  Iglesias pitched in place of Homer Bailey, who has since had season ending elbow surgery.  He allowed three runs on five hits over five innings before he was sent back to Louisville to continue development. Iglesias was 1-2 with a 3.80 ERA in four starts at Louisville.

"Everyone in the system is excited about his development," Bryan Price said. "He has been throwing strikes and working on consistency with his arm angle."
