Tim Adleman has been recalled from Triple-A Louisville today. He is taking the roster spot of Michael Lorenzen who has been placed on the bereavement list for the time being.
A majority of the time this season for Tim Adleman has been spent in Triple-A, but he’s made four starts with the Reds earlier this year. In those four starts he posted a 3.72 ERA in 19.1 innings with nine walks and 16 strikeouts.
With Louisville the right hander has been very strong. He’s posted a 2.38 ERA in 10 starts. That’s covered 56.2 innings where he’s allowed just four home runs, walked 10 batters and racked up 38 strikeouts.
While he’s been good all year with the Bats, over his last four starts he’s been even better. Since July 26th he’s posted a 0.65 ERA, allowing just two earned runs in 27.2 innings pitched. He’s walked just six batters over that span and has 18 strikeouts, allowing just one home run.
Adleman hasn’t pitched in five days, last taking the mound on August 11th. With the need for a starting pitcher to take over for Cody Reed, Adleman could factor in. There’s a chance he pitches in a game as a “side session” before taking over that spot. Or perhaps he simply could take over the “long man” role in the bullpen for Keyvius Sampson, who could grab the starting spot that’s been vacated by Cody Reed. There could also be another plan for the Reds, though those two would seem to be the most likely at this point.
