Jonathan India nursed his aching hamstring for 12 days but returned to the lineup on Tuesday. Jake Fraley had some soreness in his right knee but avoided the Injured List. He returned to be the designated hitter from the ninth slot in the lineup against the San Diego Padres.
"It's great to have Jonathan back. It was a quick recovery," David Bell said. "Whenever you have a hamstring strain, you never know how long it's going to take. It shows how hard he worked to get back and how he takes care of himself. Good conditioning. He's young and in the big picture we certainly missed him."
The Reds send Alejo Lopez to Louisville and designated JT Riddle for assignment. If he passes waivers, he will most certainly be assigned to Louisville. The Reds added Matt Reynolds, who was claimed off waivers from the New York Mets on Sunday.
Reynolds played 68 games for the Mets in 2017 after they drafted him in the second round of the 2012 draft.
"He's going to play," David Bell said. "I got just a few minutes with him. He's an experienced infielder, a good defender. He can play shortstop. Farm (Kyle Farmer) is playing every day. It is great to have somebody who has the ability to play that position. We heard great things about him as a person and a teammate."
Luis Castillo pitched for Dayton in a rehab start on Sunday. Castillo missed the entire spring training month. Castillo pitched 2 1/3 innings against Western Michigan. He allowed one earned run on two hits. He walked three and struck out four, throwing 48 pitches.
"It was a good day, typical of Luis. He had some strikeouts and got his pitch count to what it needed to be,
" Bell said. "He's on track to get another rehab start. I anticipate another two more before we see him here."
