Finnegan will pitch a simulated game in Louisville on Thursday. The Bats season starts on April 6.
"He's going to throw a simululated game tomorrow in an effort to get him stretched out to 80-85 pitches or so. They'll do it in Louisville," Bryan Price said.
The Reds will evaluate Finnegan before they decide if he is going to join the Reds' staff or pitch a rehab game in Louisville.
"We're goinig to just evaluate the performance and make sure that he's No. 1 feelinig good, No. 2 that his stuff looks like it's regular-season ready ... (plan was)," Price said. "He would get through the fourth and we'd re-evaluate if he was ready to come and join us on the ninth or make one start in our minor league system to make sure it's on the up and up. So we'll see how it goes tomorrow."Finnegan started a week behind the other Reds' pitchers. He had a setback in a start in the Cactus League on March 11 when he left the game after two batters with a knot in his left bicep.
David Martinez is out with mild shoulder pain.
"He played catch yesterday and will throw again today. Had no pain, no issues at all yesterday. He threw at 75 feet," Price said.
Anthony DeSclafani, who has a strained left oblique that was also diagnosed on March 11, started a throwing program.
"He has initiated a throwing program. I think he's on as much as day three of his throwing program. He's been playing catch for a few days," Price said.
Michael Lorenzen is out with a strained teres major.
"He's going to be checked again to tomorrow to see the progress of the recovery of the injury," Price said. "It's going to be specific on making sure the injury is healed before he starts a throwing program. But I think everyrone's optimistic that he's healed at a faster pace than expected."
