Cincinnati Reds place 2B Mike Moustakas on 10-day IL

Since Tuesday, though, it’s been a mysterious thigh bruise that has plagued Moose, and kept him completely sidelined. While the original hope was that he’d be back and ready as early as this Tuesday, the Reds announced Sunday that he’d be out longer than that, officially placing him on the 10-day IL.
The Enquirer’s Bobby Nightengale relayed the news.
