CINCINNATI -- Reds right-hander Michael Lorenzen keeps edging closer to making his 2016 Major League debut after suffering a right elbow strain and a bout with mononucleosis during Spring Training. At least on Friday he got to work out at Great American Ball Park for the first time this season.
Lorenzen threw a bullpen session and also got his normal running and lifting routine done prior to Friday night's interleague game against Oakland. The right-hander, who has been working out at the club's player development complex in Goodyear, Ariz., as part of extended spring training, is expected to join Triple-A Louisville in the next few days for his first rehab assignment.
