Chris Reitsma's trip to Chattanooga was a trip to nowhere at all, as it turned out. The right-hander was optioned to Double-A in between games of Tuesday's doubleheader, but was back with the Reds in time for Wednesday's game with the St. Louis Cardinals.

        The Reds recalled Reitsma after placing right-hander Brian Moehler on the disabled list because of irritation in his rotator cuff. Reitsma will start Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

        “I'm looking forward to it,” Reitsma said. “Really looking forward to it.”

        Reitsma was at Cinergy Field, doing his normal post-outing workout.

        “I got here early - about 12:30,” he said. “They came and told me I had a phone call.”

        Reitsma was OK with all the transactions.

        “I've come to the realization that they're going to do what they do,” he said. “When they give you the ball, you've got to be prepared to do your best no matter where you are.”

        Reitsma (5-9) got the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. He pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing one run.

        Reitsma's stay at Chattanooga would have been short anyway. He was sent there because the Lookouts' season ends Sept. 2 and he could have rejoined the Reds then.
