Collateral Damage Daily for April 18

Collateral Damage for April 16 Collateral Damage for April 19

Cincinnati was the only team making major moves on Tuesday, adding one player and taking another player off the disabled list. That could be changing soon, as several other players are improving during their rehabilitation. For now though, let's look at the most recent transactions and player comments.

Additions

Miguel Cairo was placed on the disabled list with a strained hamstring after injuring it over the weekend in Washington. His hamstring strain was worse than Brandon Phillips'; Phillips missed close to a week. Todd Frazier was brought up from Triple-A Louisville to take Cairo's place because the Reds did not want to play shorthanded like they did while Phillips was injured.

Subtractions

Jordan Smith was activated from the disabled list; he had been dealing with elbow inflammation since spring training. Unfortunately, he is not sticking around; he was optioned to Triple-A Louisville. He missed a little over a month which, considering the onslaught of elbow injuries so far throughout the league, Smith has to be pleased with.
