This is the free game of the day on MLBTV.

I see Moran is back. I missed when they called him back up.

Yuck, Friedl leading off. Anyone else in that lineup would be better off in the lead off position.

Catcher leading off for Arizona. You don't see that very often.

Colin Moran has been called up and is in the Reds lineup. Max Schrock could come off the IL in the next day or two.

Reds haven’t announced a roster move, but Colin Moran will be called up and in the lineup today.

@Reds

The #Reds today recalled from Triple-A Louisville IF Colin Moran and optioned to Louisville RHP Jared Solomon.

David Bell said Nick Senzel had his back examined today. He could miss a day or a few.

i really can't understand Bell's reluctance to put Almora leadoff.

[cumberlandreds]

Even money Senzel is going on the IL. Didn't he have some sort of injury the other night?

[Kc61]

Glad Reds added Moran and will add Schrock. Team has too few LHH against righty hurlers. Especially with Moose out. This could signal that Moose will be out awhile.

To make room for Moran, Reds are either dropping a pitcher (they now have 14) or putting Senzel on IL (second day out of lineup) or moving Lopez down to AAA.

Senzel was just starting to play well. I don't mind Almora in CF at all, but man do we not have a RF bat with Naquin out.

OK its Solomon who was sent down. Lost that bet. But with Senzel down with his back he may not be far behind.

[Ron Madden]

Reds are now carrying 13 pitchers and 13 position players.

Teams will be limited to 13 pitchers on June 20

For what it's worth. Welch seems to think the 14 pitcher rule will end up being all sesson long.

I’m just glad he’s in CF

Votto has hit Davies in the past. I smell a 406 ft HR

[CaiGuy]

The Reds need a real infusion of OF depth. Friedl couldn't hit AA pitching.

It's also a shame that the worst batter leads off while the best is all the way down at 5. Stephenson doesn't play everyday, they need to maximize AB's.

Max Schrock, on a rehab assignment at Louisville, could return to the Reds this weekend in St. Louis, David Bell said.

[Ironman92]

We’ll need to hit today….will take 7 to win
