ST. LOUIS -- Reinforcements arrived for the Reds in the visiting clubhouse of Busch Stadium Saturday afternoon, filling voids in the bullpen and at shortstop.
Right-hander Lucas Sims was recalled from from Triple-A Louisville, Blake Trahan had his Louisville contract selected and right-hander Zack Weiss was released.
Trahan was surprised to receive the news when he was called into Louisville interim manager Dick Schofield's office Friday.
"He made it a cool little joke and it was good," Trahan said. "As a baseball player you're just going to keep going and take each pitch at a time, each throw at a time and try not to think about those things, so it was more of a surprise.
