Reds' Robert Dugger: Back in big leagues

Dugger's contract was selected by the Reds on Thursday.

Dugger was designated for assignment Sunday but is back in the big leagues less than a week later with Lucas Sims (back) heading to the injured list. Dugger owns a career 7.29 ERA at the major-league level has allowed six runs in 8.1 innings of relief this season, though his 12:1 K:BB gives reason for at least a bit of optimism.
