Last week Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that there was an outside chance that Michael Lorenzen could rejoin the team before the All-Star break. He began a rehab assignment with the Arizona Complex League Reds on July 1st when he threw a perfect inning with two strikeouts in Goodyear. Earlier today the organization announced that he was being sent to Triple-A to join the Louisville Bats and continue his rehab assignment.
Louisville is off on Monday’s during this season, but Michael Lorenzen is scheduled to pitch on Tuesday and Thursday in Louisville for the Bats. If that goes well, it’s possible that he could join the team in Milwaukee over the weekend.
