Cincinnati Reds Roster Report 2009-05-05


Cincinnati Reds Roster Report 2009-05-05
After a 7-3 trip that buoyed hopes for a good season, the Reds returned home and sputtered, going 2-4, including losing two of three to the Astros, a team they had beaten three of four in Houston. The Reds did win one against the Astros, ending a streak of 11 consecutive head-to-head losses at home and a 1-15 record at home against them over the past three seasons.

PLAYER NEWS:

--3B Adam Rosales hit .417 in his first four games after his call-up from Class AAA Louisville, but after Rosales played Monday night in Florida, Jerry Hairston Jr. will man third base Tuesday and Wednesday. Hairston is hitting .159.

--3B Edwin Encarnacion (chipped bone, left wrist) is on the team's five-day trip staying in shape by running and doing weight work. He'll have his hard cast removed and replaced by a soft cast when the team returns home Wednesday.

--RHP Edinson Volquez, who pitched a one-hit shutout over eight innings against the Braves in his last start, makes his sixth start of the season Tuesday against the Marlins. He is 2-0 in two starts against the Marlins with a 3.00 ERA.

--1B Joey Votto has a four-game hitting streak and has at least one hit in 19 of his 25 games. He is the only Red to play every inning of every game.

--SS Alex Gonzalez left Monday's game in the ninth inning with a strained left oblique. He left for Cincinnati for an examination Tuesday by team physician Dr. Tim Kremchek.

MEDICAL WATCH:

SS Alex Gonzalez (strained left oblique) left the game May 4 and was scheduled to be examined May 5.
