CINCINNATI -- The Reds placed outfielder Scott Schebler on the bereavement list on Thursday and recalled outfielder Phillip Ervin from Triple-A Louisville.
Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman has been using a four-man outfield rotation of late and said Ervin will be available when needed, but Jesse Winker, Billy Hamilton and Adam Duvall will likely see the bulk of the playing time in Schebler's absence. Schebler is eligible to be reinstated in three days and can remain on the bereavement list for a maximum of seven days.
Ervin last appeared for the Reds on April 24 and has eight hits and five walks in 44 plate appearances this season in the big leagues.
