Reds' Scott Heineman: Sent back to Louisville

The Reds optioned Heineman to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Cincinnati chose to keep fellow outfieldersShogo Akiyama and Aristides Aquino on hand when a spot on the active roster was needed for reliever Tejay Antone (forearm), who was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Heineman had been up with the Reds for the past month, appearing in 17 games while going 2-for-26 with a pair of home runs.
