Reds' Phillip Ervin: Batting cleanup

Ervin will start in right field and bat cleanup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Ervin will assume Yasiel Puig's usual spot in the field and batting order while Puig tends to a sprained shoulder. The Reds are labeling Puig as day-to-day for the time being, but if he requires a trip to the injured list, Ervin could claim at least a short-side platoon role in the Cincinnati outfield.
