Reds placed OF Chris Heisey on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 6, with a strained left oblique. Heisey was able to pinch-run in Friday's game, but too sore to hit and play the field, so the Reds will shut him down and hope he's better in a couple weeks. Fred Lewis and Yonder Alonso should be the primary left fielders while Heisey is out, though Dave Sappelt, who was promoted from from Triple-A Louisville to take Heisey's spot on the roster, could also see some starts.
