The Cincinnati Reds activated Casey Legumina from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned fellow right-hander Kevin Herget to Triple-A Louisville.

Legumina, 25, had been sidelined since sustaining a right ankle contusion during a game against the Miami Marlins on May 13.

He was drilled in the ankle by a ball off the bat of Yuli Gurriel. Legumina was able to complete the play for an out before departing the game.

Legumina made his MLB debut on April 15 and is 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA in eight relief appearances this season.

Herget, 32, is 1-2 with one save and a 5.73 ERA in 13 relief appearances this season for Cincinnati.
