There have been a lot of highlights in the Cincinnati Reds’ farm system through the first five weeks of the minor league season, but there is some concern about the number of injuries in the organization.
Injuries are up across the entire sport, an effect of shortened or canceled 2020 seasons, but it’s tough seeing prospects losing time to develop.
None of the Reds’ six picks from the 2020 MLB Draft played for a minor league affiliate throughout the past week. First-round pick Austin Hendrick was on the injured list with a left groin strain, though he’s expected to return Sunday.
