The trade that officially sent Brandon Phillips to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday opened up a spot on the 40 man roster of the Cincinnati Reds. On Monday, the team quickly moved to refill that roster, adding RHP Lisalverto Bonilla, a talented yet injury prone hurler who had been designated for assignment by the Pittsburgh Pirates just last week.

Bonilla is quite well traveled for a 26 year old.
