CINCINNATI (Ticker) - The road to the postseason just got a little tougher for the Cincinnati Reds.
The Reds on Saturday placed struggling lefthander Brandon Claussen on the 15-day disabled list with rotator cuff tendinitis in his left shoulder.
In Friday's outing against the Chicago White Sox, Claussen was tagged for nine runs and eight hits in two-plus innings of a 12-4 loss. He is 3-8 with a 6.19 ERA in 14 starts this season and is winless since May 19, a span of five outings.
A corresponding roster move will be announced following Saturday's game with the White Sox.
