Leake, Latos to switch spots in rotation

The Cincinnati Reds announced on Friday that they would switch rotation spots of Mat Latos and Mike Leake.
The two originally swapped spots when Leake came down with symptoms of the stomach flu during the Cleveland Indians series in Cincinnati over a week ago. After evaluating performances, head coach Dusty Baker has decided to keep their spots in the order they were before the flu outbreak.







"Leake and Arroyo are very similar," manager Dusty Baker said. "Plus the extra day with the off-day, too, gave us the liberty to do something."

Leake will start on Sunday in the series finale against Minnesota, and Latos will start Monday when the Brewers come to town.
