Cincinnati Reds center fielder Jim Edmonds has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique muscle.

Edmonds was injured in the sixth inning of the Reds' 11-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. He felt it on a swing and a miss against Matt Cain.

Edmonds grimaced on his follow through and was lifted for pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs.

The 40-year-old Edmonds is batting .272 with nine home runs, 21 RBIs and 23 doubles with the Reds and Milwaukee.

The Reds optioned right-handed reliever Jordan Smith to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Sam LeCure and Triple-A All-Star second baseman Chris Valaika from Louisville.

When Valaika plays, he will become the eighth Red to make his major league debut this year.
