The month of August has actually not respected our beloved Cincinnati Reds. They are 1-8 given that the beginning of the month and have actually not played terrific baseball while doing so. The infraction, which was such a highlight of the first fifty percent, has battled to get things going and has actually not had the ability to capitalize on their speed on the base courses. After missing out on opportunities versus the Miami Marlins earlier this week, a collection you might say that the Reds need to have swept, they head to Pittsburgh hoping to turn points around. Prior to the Reds play, though, they made a couple transfers to attempt and change things up a little both on the roster and in the schedule. The #Reds today introduced the complying with deals. First, the Reds called Henry Ramos and optioned Nick Senzel to Louisville. Ramos was on the Reds for a few weeks early in the period, playing his last video game with the club on May 19. He hit. 242/. 356/. 307 in 19 video games and has struck. 315/. 399/. 522 in Triple-A this period. His call-up comes just a day after he struck a 495 foot bomb for Louisville. Senzel's choice follows an additional unsatisfactory period thus far. He began well, yet since he has become a turning player instead of a daily gamer he has actually struggled strongly. He's struck. 138/. 223/. 351 given that the start of June. Ideally a stint in Triple-A will certainly assist him figure things out. An additional note about the roster relocations is Jonathan India not coming off the damaged checklist. He was expected to be ready to come up today, yet he had not been noted in this flurry of lineup actions. So preventing something happening by video game time, the former newbie of the year could be on the rack for a couple much more days. The Reds also made a couple schedule changes heading right into tonight, most notably going down Elly De La Cruz from the leadoff area to 3rd in the order and moving TJ Friedl back up to the leadoff spot. After striking clean-up when he was originally called, David Bell moved him to the leadoff area after the All Celebrity Break. He has had a hard time because transferring to leadoff, striking. 207/. 281/. 404 in that time. Ideally this relocation helps obtains the offense going a little bit Reds send Andrew Abbott to capital tonight as he, as well, looks to turn things about. He's gotten hit difficult his last 2 outings so hopefully he can right the ship tonight. He'll face off versus Johan Oviedo. First pitch is arranged for 7:05 PM EDT Marlins Shorts.
