CINCINNATI (AP) - The Reds placed shortstop Rich Aurilia on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained hamstring, and called up right-hander Elizardo Ramirez from Triple-A Louisville.
The move to bring up Ramirez protects the team in case left-hander Brandon Claussen has to miss his next start. Claussen twisted an ankle in the fourth inning of Reds' 5-1 victory over San Diego on Tuesday night.
Aurilia was hitting .198 when he strained his left hamstring while running out a ground ball Tuesday night, forcing him from the game. Aurilia is in a 4-for-32 slump.
