When Eugenio Suarez injured his shoulder and had to have surgery last month, the Cincinnati Reds were hopeful that it wasn’t serious and that he could be ready “around Opening Day”. Earlier today saw Reds manager David Bell provided an update to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, noting that the latest updates are encouraging, and it’s realistic that he could be ready to play on Opening Day.
As was reported when the injury and surgery were originally announced, at the start of the spring, Eugenio Suarez is going to be limited when activities begin in Goodyear for position players on Tuesday the 18th (position players report on Sunday the 16th, but the first workout is Tuesday).
