LOS ANGELES -- The Reds optioned outfielder Steve Selsky to Triple-A Louisville in order to clear 25-man roster room for Tuesday's starter, Daniel Wright.
Selsky was called up Friday to replace Tim Adleman, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique strain. Selsky made his big league debut the same day, striking out as a pinch-hitter against the Mariners.
"These guys, to come up for three, four, five days, a week, that's fine," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "But if they're not going to be in the lineup at least half the time, they're spinning their wheels as far as development goes.
