Reds' Ryan Ludwick sidelined for at least three months Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ryan Ludwick is expected to miss at least three months because of a shoulder injury that required surgery. Ludwick dislocated his right shoulder while sliding into third base in Cincinnati's opening 3-1, 13-inning loss to the Angels on Monday. He had surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage. Manager Dusty Baker said Ludwick is expected to be sidelined for 13 to 14 weeks. The Reds called up Derrick Robinson to take his roster spot. The 25-year-old outfielder will make his major league debut. Chris Heisey, who has been a reserve most of his career, will get a chance to play left field while Ludwick recovers. He started 80 games last year at all three outfield spots. Kazmir's first start delayed Cleveland Indians left-hander Scott Kazmir will miss his first scheduled start of the season because of a sore abdominal muscle on his right side. Kazmir felt fine after a 30-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, but Manager Terry Francona decided to play it safe rather than start Kazmir at Tampa Bay on Saturday. Kazmir will return to Cleveland for tests and rejoin the team before Friday's game against the Rays. The Indians will choose a replacement starter Thursday, Francona said. Kazmir hasn't pitched in the major leagues in almost two years. A two-time All-Star with Tampa Bay, he was released by the Angels in 2011 and pitched in the independent Atlantic League last year.
