We knew that Sonny Gray was coming back this week, but prior to the game on Wednesday manager David Bell announced exactly when that was going to happen. Saturday afternoon against Cleveland will see the return of Gray, who has been rehabbing his way back from back spasms he experience in spring training. He made a start at the Reds alternate site in Louisville on April 4th, and then he threw a simulated game in Arizona at Chase Field while the Reds were in town to play the Diamondbacks.
One thing that was uncertain with the return of Sonny Gray was how things would play out with the rotation, and potentially with the bullpen.
