CHICAGO -- The Reds began the season with a fleet of five starting pitchers -- an entire rotation's worth -- on the disabled list. But there have been varied degrees of progress for each of them lately as they each get closer to returning.
Left-hander John Lamb, trying to come back after December back surgery, threw three innings Monday morning in an extended spring game at the Goodyear, Ariz., complex. Manager Bryan Price believed it was still realistic that Lamb could return by the end of this month.
"He's feeling good, I don't think he's having any issues with his back or any issues with strength," Price said.
