Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alfredo Simon has been scratched from Tuesday's start against the Colorado Rockies due to right biceps tendinitis.
The Reds expect him to miss just one turn in the rotation. Robert Stephenson will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start in his place Tuesday.
Against 41 batters this season, Simon has recorded a 12.15 ERA and 22.0 strikeout percentage. He has a 2.55 WHIP on the year.
