ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cincinnati Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson is taking a leave of absence from the team because of personal reasons.

The team announced the move Friday before opening a three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals.

No reason was given for the absence of the 54-year-old Johnson. Assistant pitching coach Matt Tracy and bullpen coach Oscar Marin took over Johnson’s game day duties for now.

Johnson has been the Reds' pitching coach since 2018.
