"Reds promote top prospect Andrew Abbott, DFA Frank German"
The Cincinnati Reds have called up left-handed pitcher Andrew Abbott and optioned right-handed reliever Kevin Herget back to Triple-A Louisville to create room on the 26-man roster. To make a spot on the 40-man roster for Abbott, the team designated reliever Frank German for assignment. German struggled with the Bats in his 10 games, allowing eight earned runs in 8.1 innings while walking six batters and striking out 13.
