Taveras
CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds placed center fielder Willy Taveras on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained right quadriceps.
Taveras was hurt on a bunt attempt in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 8-5, 10-inning loss to San Francisco. He left the game after grounding out a couple of pitches later and jogging to first base.
The Reds called up outfielder Drew Stubbs to replace Taveras. Stubbs, Cincinnati's first-round pick and the eighth overall selection in the 2006 draft, was hitting .268 and leading the International League with 46 stolen bases for Triple-A Louisville.
Taveras was hitting .238 with 25 stolen bases in 98 games. A leadoff hitter, Taveras led the majors with 68 steals last year as a member of the Colorado Rockies and during spring training vowed to steal 100 this year.
