Reds call up Wojciechowski for bullpen help

CINCINNATI -- The Reds needed a bullpen arm, badly, and clubhouse manager Rick Stowe needed as much room as possible on the back of a jersey to fit the new pitcher's last name. Cincinnati selected the contract of right-hander Asher Wojciechowski from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

To make room on the 25-man roster, third catcher Stuart Turner was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Reliever Nefi Ogando was moved from the 10-day DL to the 60-day DL because of right shoulder soreness.

According to Stowe, Wojciechowski was the longest name he ever had to fit on a jersey.
