All offseason long, Tim Adleman was persona non grata for the Cincinnati Reds. After being a top four pitcher for the Reds in 2016, he was not in their plans for 2017. He pitched poorly in Arizona this spring, but showed his stuff as soon as he reached Louisville. Yet, the Reds have leaned on him again this year.
Adleman only pitched once for the Louisville Bats this season. He started one game and pitched seven innings. He only allowed two runs and one walk in that game.
Then Adleman was recalled to help the bullpen on the same day that Sal Romano made his MLB debut.
