Reds Place Starter on Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds are losing a member of their rotation. Well, it's not much of a loss actually. 

The Reds have placed starter T.J. Zeuch on the 15-day injured list with an upper back injury.

Perhaps, this is good for Zeuch, as he was lit up in Wednesday's start against the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing seven hits, six runs and four walks over just 2.2 innings of work. 

This was not just one bad start, as the twenty-seven-year-old has been atrocious in all three starts he's made this season. He'll head to the injured list with a 15.19 ERA, 2.91 WHIP and just five strikeouts in 10.2 innings. He's, of course, posted an 0-3 record in those three starts. 

Zeuch is a former first-round pick (21st Overall) of the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2016 MLB Draft.
