Red's Physical Condition Going Into Break



Scooter Gennett's left groin is tight.  He left the Wednesday night game against the Milwaukee Brewers as a precaution.  He felt it in the batters box.  It is the opposite groin, the right, that put him out of action for three months.

"He felt better than he thought he would today," manager David Bell said.

The Reds placed Amir Garrett on the 10-day injured list with a strained left lat.

"I don't think it will be 10-days but we have to take care of it," Bell said.  "He's had a good year and is important to us."

The Reds recalled Josh VanMeter from Louisville.  The infielder/outfielder spent 14 days in Kentucky, hitting .393 in 14 games with eight doubles and a home run.  He hit safely in 11 games.

Alex Wood threw a bullpen on Tuesday and is within a week of a rehab assignment.

"We are a couple of conversations away from making a determination about his next step," Bell said.

Wandy Peralta and Cody Reed are throwing.   Peralta has been out long enough that Bell thinks a rehab assignment is necessary.
