Short a left-handed reliever, what with Brian Shackelford apparently still being held without charges in Milwaukee on suspicion of sexual assault, the Reds optioned Shack to Louisville and brough up LHP Michael Gosling.

If Gosling makes this work, he'll have quite a story to tell the grandkids.

UPDATE 6:58 p.m. According to Marc Shack is a free man, no charges having been filed. He has 72 hours to report to Louisville.
