Dane Myers has been scratched from the Reds lineup tonight vs the Braves with an illness. New lineup: Dunn (R) RF De La Cruz (S) SS Stewart (R) DH Suárez (R) 3B Steer (R) 1B Bleday (L) LF Stephenson (R) C McLain (R) 2B Friedl (L) CF

The Reds have placed Pierce Johnson on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Johnson is sporting a 3.27 ERA in 22 innings out of the bullpen this season. Additionally, the Reds have selected the contract of RHP Lyon Richardson from AAA-Louisville.

The Reds have DFA’d RHP Kyle Nicolas. Nicolas appeared in 7 games for the Reds with an 8.59 ERA and 13 walks in just 7.1 innings. The Reds traded for Nicolas in March for Tyler Callihan who is currently up in the MLB with the Pirates.

Didn't seem like there was a proper game plan for the bullpen for yesterday's game. Thoughts?

Blake Dunn moves down in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves. #Reds
