Replacing Scott Rolen Remains Complex Equation; Miguel Cairo Tests Sore Knee Prior To Game

It's been a patchwork situation for the Reds to get by without third baseman Scott Rolen.

The Reds are 5-5 in their first 10 games since Rolen went on the disabled list with a strained left shoulder. They couldn't go to their planned backup, prospect Juan Francisco, because he's also on the DL with a strained calf. They've instead used utility infielders Miguel Cairo and Chris Valaika and regular shortstop Paul Janish.
