Former UCLA right-hander Josh Roenicke has been recalled from triple-A Louisville to fill an open roster spot with the Cincinnati Reds. Roenicke, who pitched in five games in his first big-league stint in September 2008, replaces reliever Mike Lincoln, who has been placed on Cincinnati's 15-day disabled list.

Roenicke has gone 1-0 with 11 saves at triple-A Louisville this season. He has recorded 26 strikeouts and three walks in 24.0 innings, making 23 relief appearances. Roenicke allowed three runs and six hits in 3.0 innings with the major-league club last September. He made his major league debut Sept .13, 2008 at Arizona.
