Cozart still dealing with Achilles soreness

CINCINNATI -- The good news is that Reds shortstop Zack Cozart has gotten past the soreness in his surgically-repaired right knee that has kept him out lately. The bad news is that Cozart's other nagging injury, left Achilles tendon inflammation, still left him unable to play on Sunday.

Cozart entered the clubhouse in the morning wearing a walking boot, a preventative measure to protect the injury.

"It's to kind of let everything settle down," Cozart said.

Even though he was hurting on different legs, it's believed that knee injuries and Achilles injuries are somewhat related.
