CLEVELAND -- The Reds reinstated center fielder Billy Hamilton from the bereavement list Monday and optioned reliever Drew Hayes to Triple-A Louisville.
Hamilton missed the three-game series at Philadelphia over the weekend to be with his family after his 3-year-old nephew, K.C. Cole, died in a car accident last Tuesday.
Hayes pitched in the ninth inning of Sunday's 9-4 win over the Phillies, but he worked one-third of an inning with one run, three hits and a bases-loaded walk. He has an 8.38 ERA over six appearances over two callups.
