Reds stick with heavy bullpen, four-man bench
(MLB.com Cincinnati Reds)

Even after the Reds returned from a series at an American League ballpark (in Minneapolis) last week where the designated hitter was used, they elected not to add to their bench after returning home, where the pitcher hits and thus more pinch-hitters are needed. A four-man bench and eight-man bullpen remains in place, and interim manager Jim Riggleman did not believe that would imminently change.
