DeSclafani feels good after facing hitters

CINCINNATI -- Reds pitcher Anthony DeSclafani has yet to be cleared to come off the disabled list and start Sunday, but he appeared to clear an important hurdle on Wednesday. DeSclafani faced teammates Jay Bruce, Billy Hamilton and Tyler Holt in a three-inning simulated game and encountered no issues.

In his last start during Spring Training, DeSclafani strained his left oblique. He has been pain-free for more than a week and had no problems pitching Wednesday.

"I felt good. I felt like the ball was coming out good," DeSclafani said.
