Sonny Gray is close to returning to the Cincinnati Reds rotation. Manager David Bell spoke this evening in his pre-game press conference with the media today and said that Gray would throw a simulated game tomorrow, and would then pitch five days later. Of course, the Reds don’t play five days later – that would be Thursday the 15th, which is an off day. But Cincinnati returns home to open a 6-game home stand that Friday with Cleveland. There could be a chance we see him sooner, though.
“Sonny is going to throw a simulated game and hopefully everything goes smooth and then be ready to go next time around, potentially, 5 days from tomorrow,” said Bell.
