Nate Adcock To Have Surgery Tuesday

http://donatelifeohio.org/

The season is over for Elizabethtown, Kentucky native Nate Adcock.

Adcock pitched in Colorado on Sunday. After the game he felt something in his tricep muscle.

"My tricep locked up," Adcock said. "They treated it but come to find out that I had a complete tear. It's tough for me and my family. You can't establish yourself with a team if you're not healthy."

The Reds promoated  Keyvius (pronounced KEE vus) Sampson from Triple A Louisville.

Sampson was with the Reds in spring training but was optioned to Pensacola as the team broke camp. Sampson was a fourth round pick by the San Diego Padres in the 2009 draft. The Gainsville, Florida native will make his Major League debut at age 24 when he gets into a game. The Reds claimed him off waivers from the Padres on January 8.

Sampson made eight appearances, seven starts, at Pensacola (1-2, 1.85 ERA). He was promoted to Louisville on June 10, where he pitched in eight games, seven starts with a 2-4 record with a 5.08 ERA. His last start was on July 24 at Indianapolis. Sampson pitched eight innings of five-hit shutout baseball.

The Reds will be able to cover multiple innings out of the Reds' bullpen.

"We thought Sampson could support us out of the bullpen," Bryan Price said. "We put him back in the starting rotation at Louisville but then we made the trade. (Johnny Cueto for three pitchers, two of whom went to Louisville as starters.) That pushed him back to a bullpen role. He threw very well for us in spring training. He has a delivery that is easy to repeat and is always on time. It is consistent enough so he can bounce back the next day after pitching in relief."

Adcock's surgery will be "Tommy John" in which a ligament from his left arm is used to repair a torn ligament on his right arm.

Adcock, 27, pitched in 13 games for the Reds. He was 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA in 18 innings.
