The Cincinnati Reds have activated right-handed reliever Lucas Sims from the injured list. To create a spot on the 26-man roster the team placed fellow reliever Brad Brach on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement.
It’s been just over six weeks since Lucas Sims last pitched for the Cincinnati Reds. The righty had been dominating for the Reds after a tough start to the season. Beginning on May 25th he had run off 11 appearances where he had allowed just one earned run over 12.0 innings and struck out 18 batters. His ERA had dropped off more than two runs in that stretch.
