DENVER -- To clear a spot for the activation of starting pitcher Jon Moscot to face the Rockies on Tuesday night, the Reds placed reliever Caleb Cotham on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
Cotham is 0-3 with a 7.40 ERA in 23 appearances. The move is retroactive to Sunday, as Cotham last pitched on Saturday, when he allowed one run, two hits and two walks in one-third of an inning against the Brewers.
The season started out well for Cotham, who had a 1.54 ERA through his first 11 appearances over 21 team games.
