Reds: Outside chance Michael Lorenzen returns before All-Star break

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Michael Lorenzen (21) smiles to manager David Bell as he is pulled in the fifth inning.

Michael Lorenzen may yet return before the All-Star break. Yesterday, Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell spoke about Lorenzen’s rehab. Look for the right-hander to begin a rehab assignment in Arizona before heading to Louisville to a couple relief outings.

Via C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, Bell said that there’s an outside chance that Mikey Biceps rejoins the Reds before the All-Star break. That is certainly welcome news to the Cincinnati faithful, as Lorenzen is slated to return to a bullpen that has the worst ERA in Major League Baseball.
