The Cincinnati Reds placed starting pitcher Amir Garrett on the DL and needed another pitcher. There was obviously something wrong with Garrett. He was the Reds best starting pitcher before coming back from Louisville and then was their worst. Until that point he appeared to be learning start to start.
Many people are calling for the next man up from the minors. Currently, on the major league roster Homer Bailey, Anthony Desclafani, Brandon Finnegan, Amir Garrett, and Nick Travieso are all on the DL. Unfortunately, at Triple A the next two men up, Rookie Davis and Sal Romano, are also on the DL.
