Outfield and bench short with injuries to Billy Hamilton and Brennan Boesch.
Thankfully, September is just around the corner, and the Reds can call up as many players as they like on the 40-man roster. In the meantime, the team has been playing with a handicapped bench to an even greater degree than they are wont to do when key players suffer injuries that don't immediately scream for a trip to the DL. OF Billy Hamilton suffered a sprained right (throwing) shoulder injury against the Royals on August 18 and is on the 15-day DL.
