Cincinnati Reds left-hander Amir Garrett is close to returning. Garrett has been on the 10-day disabled list since Aug. 29 with a left foot injury.

“It’s a lot better,” he said. “The pain is gone for the most part. The time off kept me from aggravating it every time I threw. I feel really good now.”

Garrett is scheduled to face hitters Saturday.
