DL stint for Finnegan may be 'inevitable'

CINCINNATI -- The Reds held off on putting lefty Brandon Finnegan on the disabled list Tuesday following another injury after his return from the DL on Monday vs. the Cardinals. But it was clear that the Reds would need another starter in Finnegan's spot for Saturday vs. the Cubs.

There was more clarification about the injury. Originally called a strained triceps, Finnegan again has a strain in the left teres major muscle near his shoulder. It's the same muscle he injured in April.

"It's not in the same spot, not in the same part of the muscle," Reds head athletic trainer Steve Baumann noted.
