CINCINNATI (AP) - The Reds activated third baseman Edwin
Encarnacion from the 60-day disabled list Friday to replace
infielder Danny Richar, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a
torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Wilkin Castillo, who had surgery Wednesday to repair a torn
labrum in his left shoulder, was moved from the 15-day DL to the
60-day to make room for Encarnacion on the 40-man roster.
Encarnacion, who'd been on the disabled list since April 28 with
a chip fracture in his left wrist, was not in Friday's starting
lineup. He was hitting .127 with one homer and six RBIs in 19 games
when he was injured.
He hit .270 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 11 rehab
appearances at Triple-A Louisville.
Richar was injured when he slid headfirst into home in the third
inning of Cincinnati's 1-0 loss to Arizona on Wednesday. That was
his seventh game since being called up on June 20.
