Wright to replace Simon on Monday in rotation

CINCINNATI -- Daniel Wright will make his second start of the season when the Reds begin a three-city, nine-game road trip on Monday against the Braves. Wright will take the spot of Alfredo Simon, Reds manager Bryan Price announced Saturday.

Wright, 25, has appeared in three games since his contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville on May 24 as an injury replacement for Tim Adleman (left oblique). Wright started in his Major League debut against the Dodgers on the road and went 5 1/3 innings, allowing seven hits and four runs, three of which were earned, with one walk and four strikeouts.
