The Cincinnati Reds placed starting pitcher Nick Lodolo on the paternity list on Thursday and recalled Carson Spiers from Triple-A Louisville.

Spiers is scheduled to start in the series finale on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles.

The 27-year-old has made two starts for Cincinnati this season and has given up five runs over 9 1/3 innings.

Lodolo has a 2.31 ERA over four starts with the Reds this season.

It is likely that Lodolo will just miss one start.
