The Cincinnati Reds have activated outfielder Nick Castellanos from the 10-day injured list. To create a spot on the 26-man roster the team optioned Max Schrock to Triple-A Louisville.
For Nick Castellanos he’s returning from what was called a microfracture in his right wrist after being hit by a pitch against Milwaukee on July 16th. He made a pinch hitting appearance as the last available player against the Mets on July 19th, and then went on the injured list after his wrist didn’t rebound as hoped. That will make it 17 days since he last played. Castellanos should provide plenty of help for the offense as long as he’s close to the guy he was prior to the injury.
