Reds' Matt Kemp Placed on 10-Day IL with Chest Injury; Phillip Ervin Recalled

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Matt Kemp will miss at least the next 10 days with a chest injury.

The Reds announced Tuesday that Phillip Ervin has been recalled from Triple-A after Kemp was placed on the 10-day injury list with a broken rib. 

Kemp was injured during Sunday's 4-3 loss against the San Diego Padres when he crashed into the left-field wall trying to make a catch. 

In his first season with Cincinnati, Kemp is hitting just .200/.210/.283 with one homer and 19 strikeouts in 60 at-bats.

Kemp is coming off a bounce-back season with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he hit .290 with 21 home runs and 85 RBI, earning his first All-Star selection since 2012.

Any significant injury could be damaging for the outfielder as he heads into free agency this season.

The Reds will likely turn to Jesse Winker as their primary left fielder. Ervin, who was Cincinnati's first-round pick in 2013, is hitting .224/.291/.286 in 12 games at Triple-A.
