Reds' Hernan Iribarren: Called up by Cincinnati

Iribarren was promoted from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Iribarren last saw MLB action in 2009, appearing in 12 games for the Brewers. He's spent the seven seasons since at the Triple-A level -- four in the Pacific Coast League, and the three most recent with Louisville in the International league. The 32-year-old has played in more than 1,250 minor league games, and although he is well past the prospect stage, the Reds will use him as an extra left-handed bat off the bench.
