RHP Caleb Cotham (right shoulder inflammation) was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Sunday. Cotham had a 1.54 ERA through his first 11 appearances, which came in 21 Reds games. Over his past 12 games, Cotham's ERA was 12.79. Because the Reds have had to use their bullpen so often, Cotham, who was acquired from the Yankees in the December deal that sent closer Aroldis Chapman to New York, was used seven times with no days of rest. Manager Bryan Price said, "He's in his first substantial amount of time in the big leagues, and I would say we really want to put a focus on preparing guys for type of workload maybe actually a little sooner for when they actually get here. He's coming from a different organization. I think they're a little more cautious, didn't pitch a lot of back-to-backs over his course of time in the Yankees system, and here, we don't have that luxury of being that conservative."
