The Cincinnati Reds have placed Tony Cingrani on the disabled list with shoulder soreness.

Bryan Price said Cingrani should be ready to return in two weeks and that the move on Thursday was more of a precaution.

"He's felt like it hasn't impaired his pitching, but he's aware he hasn't felt 100 percent like his first game against the Cardinals," Price said. "I think he can still pitch with it. All things considered, we don't want 60 percent to 70 percent of Tony Cingrani if we can get closer to 100 percent. And we're going to take advantage of this spot in the schedule to get him right."

Cingrani is 2-2 with a 3.34 ERA in six starts.
