This is becoming old hat for the Cincinnati Reds. They think that they find a solution for a spot in the rotation and a pitcher injures himself. This time it is lefty John Lamb who is in worse shape than expected.
Lamb went through a surgery to fix a lumbar herniation in his back. If he wasn’t a professional athlete, he probably would have taken injections and completed physical therapy. Instead, he is likely going to be out until sometime in May.
This is the second year in a row in which Lamb has missed time with a back injury.
