With six players on the DL it is time for the Cincinnati Reds to decide how to balance the roster for the second half of the season. Five of those players are pitchers with four of them being starters. Bronson Arroyo may not pitch again, ever, and the trio of Anthony DeSclafani, Nefi Ogando, and Nick Travieso haven’t pitched yet this year.
The other pitcher is Brandon Finnegan. Last season he was the only Reds’ pitcher to answer the call every time his spot in the rotation came up. This year, he has only pitched two games without leaving early due to an injury.
