Michael Lorenzen will miss at least a few days with a grade 1 strain to his teres major.

Lorenzen was trying to earn a turn in the Reds' starting rotation.  That looks doubtful now.

Lorenzen had his struggles with command this spring in making his way our of the bullpen.

"It is going to affect him for the next several days for sure," Price said.  "It has been a challenge for him to repeat a good quality delivery, throughout the course of the entire spring. The challenge for Michael was to come in and look like a Major League starting pitcher, refined and polished, command his pitches.  He wasn't quite there yet."

The setback opens the door for Sal Romano, Tyler Mahle and Amir Garrett.

Luis Castillo, back from paternity leave and Brandon Finnegan pitched their innings in a minor league game.

Castillo pitched five innings, allowing four hits, one earned run.  He walked one and struck out five on 71 pitches.

Finnegan threw two innings, allowing an earned run on two hits.  He struck out two and walked one.
