With Jesse Winker nursing an injured neck, look for Derek Dietrich to rejoin his Cincinnati Reds teammates for a three-game set in Pittsburgh. Dietrich and the Pirates are not known to be friendly toward one another, but I don’t expect any fireworks this weekend. However, Winker’s injury is an opportunity for Dietrich to get back to the player he was in May.
What better place for Derek Dietrich’s return from the injured list than PNC Park? While it has yet to be announced, it makes the most sense for the Reds to activate Dietrich from the injured list after he’s now played in three games as part of a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.
