Reds bullpen situation 'fluid'

Wochit

ST. LOUIS – The Reds roster moves with their bullpen for the foreseeable future aren’t going to have as much to do with performance as they are availability.

Twice this week the Reds have sent down relievers who haven’t allowed a run to make room for a new player – Ariel Hernandez on Tuesday to make room for Barrett Astin and then Astin two days later when the team activated catcher Devin Mesoraco.

Their only sin was pitching too well – Hernandez went 2 u2154 innings on Monday and another arm was needed for Tuesday.
