The Reds reinstated Donovan Solano from the 60-day injured list and placed LHP Nick Lodolo on the 60-day list. Alexis Diaz was placed on the 15-day list on Sunday. Solano will fill that 26-man roster spot.
The Reds signed Solano on March 16. He was expected to be a key player off the bench, who can play shortstop to spell Kyle Farmer. A strained left hamstring foiled that plan until today.
"He will play," David Bell said. "We were really excited to acquire him. It has been a tough reecovery for him but he's really going to help us."
Solano hit .345 in nine rehab appearances for Louisville. He hit four doubles and drove in three runs. He played six games at third base, one at shortstop and was the designated hitter twice.
The 34-year old who is on a one-year contract played in 101 games for the San Francisco Giants last year, mostly at second base. He hit .280 with seven home runs and 34 RBI. He had a .334 on-base-percentag and a .404 slugging percentage.
Solano has played for the Miami Marlins, New York Yankees and Giants in his eight career (,277/.325/.372).
