Reds Injuries
The injury situation with the Reds is pretty murky right now (what is it with the Reds and not really knowing what's going on with injuries, playing short all the time, etc.? Does this happen to every team?) At any rate, Cairo is expected to return in about a week. Masset was more or less postmarked for a return in about a week as well, but that gets less certain by the day (since it has been changed once or twice, and no good news has come out at any point). Phillips is not on the DL, but IMHO probably should be since he's playing about 1 game of 3, doing it at well less than 100%, and there shouldn't be any urgency for him what with a brand new 5 year deal and the fact that it's April. Brett Tomko returned to action in AAA last week, slightly improving SP emergency depth. Ryan Madson remains out for the year. This has been your friendly organizational injury update courtesy of RR. For more, check out the Reds and Louisville Bats injury situation here. Update: Bill Bray has been placed on the DL and replaced on the roster by J.J. Hoover. I am excited to see what kind of stuff Hoover has, though part of me wishes he were starting in AAA.
