Edinson Volquez, already anointed the Reds opening day starter, is not allowed to participate in games in which the teams charge admissions.
The U.S. State Department that is stationed in the Domincan Republic issued only a travel visa to Volquez. His problems originated with his 50-game suspension for testing positive for a banned substance.
To keep him on schedule, the righthander threw live batting practice to a group of minor leaguers at the Reds complex. He threw the equivalent of two innings.
