Cincinnati Reds Get Positive Injury News About Multiple Key Players
CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds have dealt with their fair share of injuries this season, but manager David Bell had some positive updates on Wednesday.
Reds starter Nick Lodolo will throw an extended bullpen on Wednesday. If all goes well, he could be activated on Monday, May 27. He's dealing with a left groin strain.
Reliever Emilio Pagan will be active and available for Wednesday night's game against the Padres. He left Sunday's game against the Dodgers with a triceps injury.
Jake Fraley is "stiff," but X-rays were negative, which is great news. The Reds will continue to monitor him over the next few days. He was hit by a pitch on the hand in the first inning of Cincinnati's 2-0 win over San Diego on Monday night.
The Reds are 20-28 on the season. They're hoping to win back-to-back games for the first time since April 23-24 when they beat the Phillies in two-straight contests.
David Bell Wednesday:
— Mike Petraglia (@Trags) May 22, 2024
* Emilio Pagan “good to go” for tonight
* Jake Fraley “still pretty stiff” will monitor closely next couple days
* Nick Lodolo extended bullpen today. If groin responds well, on track for Monday activation
