Mike Moustakas is getting much closer toward returning to the Cincinnati Reds

Last month, Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas felt like he was close to coming back from a heel injury and returning to the Reds starting lineup.

After he had a lateral tear in his plantar fasciitis in May, Moustakas missed a month. But in the middle of June, he started a Triple-A rehab assignment and played in a game with the Louisville Bats.
