The Cincinnati Reds placed left-hander Andrew Abbott on the 15-day injured list on Friday due to a strain in his throwing shoulder.
The move was retroactive to Tuesday, two days after Abbott allowed four runs on six hits in five innings in an 8-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
Abbott, 25, is 10-10 with a 3.72 ERA in 25 starts this season. With the Reds, he is 18-16 with a 3.78 ERA in 46 starts.
Also on Friday, the Reds promoted right-hander Alan Busenitz from Triple-A Louisville and activated catcher Austin Wynns from the 10- to 60-day injured list because of a teres major muscle strain in his right shoulder.
Busenitz, 34, has a record of 5-2 with one save and a 3.93 ERA in 40 appearances (two starts) with Louisville this season. He has a record of 5-2 with a 4.36 ERA in 57 appearances as a relief pitcher with the Minnesota Twins (2017-18) and the Reds (2023).
The 33-year-old Wynns has a 7-for-19 (.368) record in seven games in his first season with the Reds.
His career batting average was .230, with 13 home runs and 63 RBIs in 238 games over parts of six seasons with the Baltimore Orioles (2018-19, 2021), San Francisco Giants (2022-23), Los Angeles Dodgers (2023), Colorado Rockies (2023) and the Reds.
