Right-hander Sam LeCure will take Homer Bailey's spot in the rotation while he recovers from an inflamed pitching shoulder.

LeCure joined the Reds on Thursday, driving up from Triple-A Louisville. He is expected to be officially promoted on Friday and start the first game of a weekend series against Houston.

A reliever will likely be sent down.

The 26-year-old LeCure will make his major league debut. He was 5-2 with a 2.55 earned run average at Louisville, with one shutout in nine starts.

Bailey went on the disabled list Monday.
