CINCINNATI -- Infielder Jerry Hairston Jr. went on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a strained hamstring, prompting the Cincinnati Reds to activate infielder Jolbert Cabrera off the disabled list.

The Reds also reinstated left-hander Bobby Livingston from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Double-A Chattanooga. Livingston had surgery last September to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.

Hairston pulled his right hamstring while running out a bunt on Sunday. He's batting .351 with 15 stolen bases, second on the team to Brandon Phillips' 19 steals. Cabrera dislocated the index finger on his left hand while sliding into second base against the Yankees on June 21.
