Ryan Ludwick Activated, Robinson Optioned

Today the Cincinnati Reds optioned OF Derrick Robinson to Triple-A Louisville and activated Ryan Ludwick from the Disabled List.

Ryan Ludwick has been riding the DL since Opening Day after suffering a shoulder injury while sliding into third base. Ludwick was a key reason why the Reds won 97 games last year; he hit .275, had 26 homers, and drove in 80 runs.

“That was a tough decision to send Robinson back,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “But he will be back in a couple of weeks and on our playoff roster. His shoulder was bothering him some and we gave him a couple of days off. He was the only one who had options. Sometimes, you can’t make the moves that you want.”
