Reds Back To Three Lefty Bullpen


Robert Stephenson, bothered by literally a pain in the neck, went on the injured list on Friday.  Wandy Peralta, who was sent down a few days ago was able to come back because of the injury rather than wait 10-days.

The Reds sent starter Lucas Sims back to Louisville after his fine performance Tuesday night in the win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.   Lefty Zach Duke was reinstated from the 10-day IL. 

Duek and Peralta join Amir Garrett on the left-handed side of the bullpen.

"I think it is a luxury.  There are so many good left-handed hitters around the league," David Bell said.

The Reds claimed right-handed pitcher R.J. Alaniz on waivers from the Seattle Mariners.  Alantz was assigned to Louisville.   Thr Reds moved Alex Wood from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. 

Alaniz was signed as a free agent with Houston in 2009, Detroit in 2015, Tampa Bay in 2017 and Seattle last November.

He pitched in four games at the Major League level with Seattle in April allowing nine runs in four innings.
