Fred Lewis and Jose Arredondo will start the season on the disabled list.
Lewis will be left in Goodyear to benefit from the warm weather.
Juan Francisco will come to Cincinnati. He will play in the outfield only in emergencies or circumstances late in the game.
"We have guys to start in the outfield," Dusty Baker said. "We had him play out there so he feels comfortable in a game."
Johnny Cueto threw some today.
"Knowing Johnny it won't take him long. We have to build him back up. It will be us slowing him down. He wants to get out there and pitch. He feels great but we don't want to rush him," Baker said.
Cueto and Homer Bailey will come to Cincinnati with the team.
