Since he's been out, the lefty late-inning high leverage role has been assumed by Wandy Peralta mostly successfully. Where does that leave Cingrani?
"He comes in and he pitches and we establish he's back to being sharp, that's the responsible thing to do," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "This wasn't a 10-day or two-week injury rehab. This was several, several weeks. To be fair to Tony and to our ballclub, we'll get him in. That's not to say we're going to give him a soft landing, he's too experienced for that. I'm not going to immediately put him in and say you have to get the biggest outs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.
