Todd Frazier got his taste of the major leagues in front of his friends and family in Philadelphia last night.
He struck out on four pitches but the real culprit was the short outing by Bronson Arroyo. The Reds recalled Carlos Fisher to take the roster spot vacated by the demotion of Frazier.
The Reds need a fresh arm rather than an extra bat at the moment.
They still need a starting pitcher for Friday night in Atlanta. Until Dontrelle Willis was placed on the seven day disabled list in Louisville, it would have been him. Daniel Ray Herrera was removed and taken by the Milwaukee Brewers, then shipped to Nashville.
The Reds could add Chad Reineke or recall Mike Leake to make the start. Reineke is scheduled to start for the Bats against Scranton-Wilkes Barre on Friday. Reineke is not on the 40-man roster. Leake's name does not appear on the list of probable starters for Louisville.
