The Cincinnati Reds sent right-handed pitcher Chase Petty to the Triple-A Louisville Bats after a 1-0 loss on the road to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday and announced Wednesday they activated right-handed reliever Ian Gibaut.

Petty was 0-2 with a 21.94 ERA in two starts. He gave up four earned runs on six hits in three innings in his last start on May 11. He gave up nine runs in 2⅓ innings to the St. Louis Cardinals in his big-league debut on April 30.

Gibaut had been on the injured list since April 26 with a right shoulder impingement. He made four rehab appearances with Louisville and did not allow a run in four innings. He threw a scoreless inning Sunday in his last appearance.

Gibaut made 12 appearances for the Reds before going on the injured list. He had a 5.40 ERA in 11 2/3 innings.

Gibaut was the losing pitcher on Opening Day on March 27, giving up four earned runs in the ninth inning in a 6-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds (25-25) return to action at 12:35 p.m. Wednesday in the final game of a three-game series against the Pirates (16-33).
