Reds left fielder Ryan Ludwick had to be taken off the field on Opening Day by trainer Paul Lessard due to a shoulder injury. He slid head first into Third Base and dislocated his right shoulder, tearing cartilage. The Reds will be without Ludwick for the next three months. Without his offensive production will the Reds stay atop of the National League Central. The OF hit for a 3 Slash Line .275/.346/.877 – with 26 HRs and 80 RBI in just 422 At-Bats in 2012. Ludwick signed a 2 YR deal with the Reds worth $15 MIL over the winter.

The Reds are off to a hot start with a 5-2 record with wins over the Angels, Nationals, and Cardinals.

Those are big wins to start out because on paper all three of those teams should make the playoffs.  It just so happened that on Opening Day against the Angels that the Reds left fielder, Ryan Ludwick, had to leave the game due to an injury. 

When the injury occurred it didn’t look to serious, but when the x-rays were taken it showed that he had dislocated his shoulder.  Along with the dislocated shoulder Ludwick had torn cartilage in his shoulder and needed surgery.
