Dateline: 1,209 Kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico

Nick Lodolo was scheduled to start against the Toronto Blue Jays but an illness put him on the shelf.

"He has a temperature and the chills," manager Terry Francona said.

The Reds chose Scott Barlow to make his 68th appearance of the season as a starter. He pitched 2/3 an inning against Toronto on Monday in relief of Hunter Greene. Barlow protected the one-run lead in the seventh inning.

The team went to Louisville to choose Reiver Sanmartin, a left hander who, is 29-years old out of Cartegena, Columbia. He pitched just 21 games over three levels of the Reds minor leagues. Sanmartin joined the Reds' organization in 2019 with Sonny Gray in a trade with the New York Yankees for Shed Long.

Sanmartin last pitched in the big leagues on May 7, 2023 with 1 1/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox. Surgery followed.

The Reds had to add him to the 40-man roster. Left handed reliever Joe La Sorsa was designated for assignment. Sam Moll was optioned to Louisville.
