That will clear a spot on the active roster for the return of Alec Burleson from the injured list. The team will also select the contract of Nick Raquet from Triple-A Memphis, taking the roster spot of Andre Granillo who was optioned out following Sunday’s game.

Every Reds fan should be furious that a hitter as weak as Hampson is on the roster at all, much less batting against a right-hander while the team is down one run in the ninth. Terry Francona, though, wasn’t willing to pinch-hit Matt McLain, and Hampson struck out to end the game. He’s hitting .167/.231/.167 in 13 plate appearances since being added 10 days ago. Dating back to last year, he’s gone 63 plate appearances without an RBI.
