Espinosa also has a bone chip in the wrist, but the main concern is a small fracture that needs time to heal.

The Reds have placed Marshall on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season because of a sore pitching shoulder.

Marshall was 0-1 with a 2.57 ERA in only 11 appearances covering 7 innings. |
