Reds' Tim Adleman: To join rotation Friday against Dodgers

Adleman is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Adleman was recently recalled to take the spot of Michael Lorenzen, who is on the bereavement list. The Reds could choose to option Adleman back to Triple-A following Friday's start, but he also could be given the chance to stick in the rotation going forward. Adleman posted a 3.72 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB in four big league starts (19.1 innings) earlier this season. His 2.38 ERA and 1.09 WHIP at Triple-A are notably more impressive, but his K-rate was also a subpar 16.7 percent in the minors, so it's hard to expect him to carry that same success over against big league hitters this time around. Keyvius Sampson recently received a spot start, but it looks like he will head back to the bullpen for now.
