On Thursday Ryan Hendrix drove from Columbus where he had been playing with the Reds alternate site team in a road series down to Cincinnati. The reliever was expected to be on the taxi squad for the upcoming road trip to St. Louis and Los Angeles. But after the game ended on Thursday he was called into David Bell’s office and told that he would be getting called up to join the big league roster.
“Him (manager David Bell) and Nick (general manager Nick Krall) were sitting there and they said congrats, and went from there,” said Hendrix.
