Volquez Will Not Start Tomorrow After All

Edinson Volquez's first start has been pushed back until March 10.  He will also throw on the Reds off day on the 15th.

Chad Reineke, from Miami University in Oxford, will start.

"Reineke is the most stretched out of that group (scheduled to pitch on Wednesday).  We can keep Volquez on schedule with the off day (on March 30)," pitching coach, Bryan Price said.

Volquez was supposed to make his first start on Wednesday in front of paying customers.  He had a travel visa and was not permitted to pitch in a game in which an admission was charged.  He went to the Dominican on Sunday to get a work visa and scheduled to pitch on Wednesday against San Diego.

He will get three live starts in exhibition games and will probably pitch in a minor league game on the 15th.
