MILWAUKEE (AP) — Cincinnati Reds outfielder Dane Myers was placed on the 10-day injured list with a bruised left shoulder on Tuesday, one day after crashing into an outfield wall and getting carted off the field.
The Reds announced the move before their Tuesday night game with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds also activated reliever Emilio Pagán from the 15-day injured list, optioned right-handed pitcher Zach McCambley to Triple-A Louisville and selected utilityman Ivan Johnson from Louisville.
Myers’ left shoulder hit the wall as he made a running backhanded catch of Andrew Vaughn’s drive in the fourth inning of the Reds’ 5-3 loss to the Brewers on Monday.
Reds manager Terry Francona said after Monday’s game that X-rays were negative, but Myers was still sent to the hospital “because he was in so much pain and so uncomfortable.”
Myers has batted .256 with a .358 on-base percentage, three homers, 14 RBIs and five steals in 63 games.
Joey Ortiz had a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning to give the Brewers a comeback victory Monday.
Held to one hit through five innings by Nick Lodolo, the Brewers tied it against Chase Petty with two runs in the sixth and Brice Turang’s solo homer, his 12th, in the seventh.
Sal Frelick singled with one out in the eighth off Sam Moll and advanced on a sacrifice. Tejay Antone relieved and Ortiz sent a 1-1 pitch 412 feet to center.
Aaron Ashby tossed a scoreless eighth for his major league-leading 11th victory. Trevor Megill finished with a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 13 opportunities.
