Injuries and the recent changes on the big club have caused a bit of change to the top level roster.  Let’s look at roster movements and check in on a few pitchers from each of the teams.
AAA Louisville Bats
The Michael Lorenzen call up left an open spot in the pitching rotation. That spot should be filled by Matt Magill who was activated from the DL. Magill had a rough first start, he went 4.2 IP allowing 4 R on 8 H and 4 BB, but he did record 9 SO. Magill came to the Reds from the Dodgers in the Chris Heisey trade. Magill is a RH who has started in 115 of his 158 minor league appearances and has a 4.42 ERA in 175 IP at AAA in the high offense PCL.
Relief pitcher Drew Hayes was added to the roster from AA Pensacola. The 27 year old RH had yet to be scored on this year at AA in 5.2 IP. He posted a 4.06 ERA last year at AA in 71 IP.
Josh Satin was placed on the DL. Donald Lutz was placed on the DL with a sprained right elbow. RHP Chris Carpenter was released. Nick Christiani was added back to the roster from Billings.
AA Pensacola Blue Wahoos
Tim Adleman is the best Wahoo SP thus far. The 27 year old RH has a 2.38 ERA over 4 GS. He posted a 2.85 ERA at AA last season over 79 IP where he started in 6 of 30 appearances.
RH Ben Klimesh has recorded 3 S and has a 1.65 ERA thus far. The 25 year old closer has logged 6.2 IP allowing just 4 H and 1 BB while getting 5 SO.
Catcher Cam Moran was recalled from Daytona to replace C Yovan Gonzalez who was placed on the DL.
High A Daytona Tortugas
