MIAMI — The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds on the 10-day injured list Thursday retroactive to Tuesday because of lower back inflammation.

Reynolds last played on Sunday. He's hitting .279 with eight homers and 40 RBIs.

“We’ve been evaluating over the last couple of days and it just got to the point where we thought it was best to give him a full 10 days,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said before the opener of a four-game series against Miami.

Pittsburgh, which began the day on a nine-game losing skid, recalled right-handed pitcher Cody Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis.
