GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds second-base prospect Dilson Herrera had a setback in camp recently and was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder. Herrera's injury will prevent him from representing Colombia in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Herrera, who was acquired from the Mets in the Aug. 1 trade for Jay Bruce, has been shut down from throwing. But he can still hit, and manager Bryan Price said he would start Herrera as the designated hitter on Saturday vs. the Indians. The game will be shown live on MLB.TV.
The Reds traded Brandon Phillips to the Braves on Feb.
