KANSAS CITY – The Cincinnati Reds are expecting some reinforcements to their roster within the next two weeks, especially with their bullpen.
There are several players who are progressing from injuries and could join the big-league roster immediately following the All-Star break.
• Michael Lorenzen (right shoulder strain) was formally transferred from the Arizona Complex League to Louisville on his rehab assignment Monday. He is scheduled to make one-inning relief appearances Tuesday and Thursday, and then he could join the Reds' bullpen by Saturday.
"We won't make any decisions based on anything other than what's best for Michael, but it could work out to where we could have him back this weekend," Reds manager David Bell said.
