Cincinnati Reds call up relievers R.J. Alaniz and Edgar García

The Cincinnati Reds made six different roster moves today. The first one was one that we knew was coming as of last night – the team officially placed Michael Lorenzen on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. David Bell said that this would be happening today during his post-game comments yesterday. But the team also called up pitchers R.J. Alaniz and Edgar García to join the bullpen. And they optioned left-handed pitcher Cionel Pérez back to Triple-A Louisville.

Both Alaniz and García were not on the 40-man roster and required spots to be called up. To clear spots on the roster the team designated for assignment reliever José De León and outfielder Mark Payton.
