Sam LeCure Injury: Forearm Strain Sends Righty To DL

The Reds don’t seem too concerned that LeCure is dealing with anything substantial here, but they’re so thin on pitching at the moment that they can’t afford to carry a reliever who can’t pitch.

Given that LeCure has been one of the team’s better pitchers - he has eight walks, 30 strikeouts, and a 3.18 ERA in 34 innings - this is bad news for Cincinnati. Cochran is a 28-year-old lefty with more walks than strikeouts this year with AAA Louisville. Don’t expect him to get much of a look.
