The Cincinnati Reds have sent right-handed pitcher Jose Arredondo to the Carolina Mudcats to begin a major league rehab assignment.
Arredondo had a scintillating rookie season in the majors with the Los Angeles Angels in 2008, going 10-2 with a 1.62 in 52 appearances. He began experiencing elbow injuries in 2009 with the Angels and Triple-A Salt Lake, before missing all of the 2010 season following Tommy John surgery.
Arredondo, 27, is currently on the Reds' 15-day disabled list.
