Reds place SP Milton on DL

The Reds put Eric Milton on the 15-day disabled list because of back spasms, the latest setback for the left-hander who had been projected as the team's No. 3 starter. Milton was one of eight players who went on the disabled list Sunday.

Milton had to be scratched from his scheduled appearance in an exhibition on Saturday because of back spasms. He was examined on Sunday and placed on the disabled list retroactive to March 23, meaning he would be eligible to return in a week. Keep him reserved for Week 1 of the Fantasy season (April 1-8) in all leagues. Kyle Lohse will move into the third spot in the rotation, with Matt Belisle taking the fourth spot. Milton has been a huge disappointment in his first two seasons in Cincinnati, winning no more than eight games in either season.

Milton's Elbow Feels Fine

Although Eric Milton allowed three earned runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings yesterday, his surgically repaired elbow continues to feel fine, according to the Cincinnati Post. "For me, I've been feeling so much better out there," Milton said. "The first couple of innings were sharp. If I can just go out there and feel stronger and better, that's a good sign. The last couple of times I've been able to cut it loose and not worry about things."
