Scooter Gennett hasn’t set foot on the baseball diamond all season after being sidelined with a groin strain he suffered during Spring Training. However, Gennett is beginning a rehab assignment in Daytona and will be back with Cincinnati Reds very soon. What will Derek Dietrich’s role be when the Reds’ All-Star second baseman returns to action.
Zach Dean, a reporter for the Daytona Beach News Journal, reported that Gennett is hopeful to rejoin the Reds by the end of next week. While that’s great news for Reds Country, Derek Dietrich might not be as excited to see Scooter return to the lineup.
