PITTSBURGH -- Reds right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, who is out with a strained left oblique, was sent on a rehab assignment to Class A Dayton on Thursday, but he did not pitch as scheduled.
"We wanted to have one more exam and make sure that everything was OK with his rib cage area and the oblique and verify that everything was OK," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We're getting so close to his activation, we figured investing one more day to give him that exam. It looks like everything is going as it's supposed to. Scar tissue is formed around the injury.
