The Reds announced on Saturday that starting pitcher Matt Belisle, who has been battling a sore right forearm, will be activated and start Monday night to open up a brief two-game series with the Dodgers at the Great Amercian Ballpark. Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky said Belisle will start Monday in place of Josh Fogg, and manager Dusty Baker confirmed the pitching rotation change after Saturday's game, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Belisle went 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA in three rehab starts. He struck out 12.

Fogg signed a $1 million, one-year deal this off-season and has been a disappointment. The 31-year old right hander is 1-2 with a whopping 13.09 ERA while allowing  16 hits and walking five batters in 11 innings.  He will head to the pen for now, but don't be surprised to see the Reds try to unload him on another pitching-starved team or flat out release him.
