GOODYEAR, Ariz. — It was one year ago on Wednesday that the Reds announced Michael Lorenzen had suffered a strain of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Monday Lorenzen sent Anthony DeSclafani a text with encouragement after hearing his teammate had received a similar diagnosis.
“He'll be fine. I think he knows he'll be fine, too,” Lorenzen said Tuesday morning. “ I think he already had that thought in his mind that he'd be fine. I sent him a text telling him Cassie (Lorenzen) and I were praying for him. I think he knows that.
