ST. LOUIS (AP) — Edinson Volquez, who warmed up but did not pitch in Friday night’s rain-delayed loss to the Cardinals, will be the Cincinnati Reds’ starting pitcher in the series finale.
The Reds also placed third baseman Scott Rolen on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left shoulder, retroactive to Thursday, and recalled infielder Chris Valaika from Triple-A Louisville. Rolen is the seventh Reds player place on the DL this season.
Valaika batted .306 with a home run and six RBIs in the minors.
The Reds also transferred outfielder Fred Lewis, rehabbing from a strained right oblique, from Double-A Carolina to Louisville. Lewis went on the disabled list before opening day.
