Kevin Herget turned 32 years old on Monday, and today he may well make his Cincinnati Reds debut.
Herget, who got into a trio of games with the Tampa Bay Rays last year, is not a stranger to big league ball, but his Reds debut was delayed by just barely missing out on the Opening Day roster after spring work in Goodyear. However, after Joel Kuhnel was leaned-on for 37 pitches in mop-up duty in last night’s loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Reds were in search of a fresh arm for their bullpen, and turned to Herget as that option.
