CINCINNATI -- Reds reliever Michael Lorenzen has been rehabilitating his strained teres major muscle near his right shoulder, but he has yet to begin a throwing program. That could change after Lorenzen visits the doctor on Wednesday for a follow-up exam to see if he's made any progress.
"I think it's going to be very point-specific, making sure the injury itself is fully recovered before he starts a throwing program," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Tuesday. "We've been down this road before with [Johnny] Cueto and with [Brandon] Finnegan."
Last season in April, Finnegan strained the left trapezius near his shoulder and suffered a similar injury in his first start back on June 26, when he strained the teres major.
