The Cincinnati Reds season continues to work against them. Prior to the game on Sunday in St. Louis the Reds announced that starting pitcher Sonny Gray was going to be placed on the 10-day injured list with a right mid-back strain. There are only two weeks left remaining in the season, meaning the Reds will likely be without one of their aces moving forward, with a chance he could make one start in the final series of the year. Taking his place on the roster is right-handed pitcher Sal Romano.
For Sal Romano, he was not on the 40-man roster.
