Nick Senzel is still rehabbing from shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum. But, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Senzel is still on track to return to the everyday lineup by Opening Day. While his name was tossed about in trade rumors this offseason, Nick Senzel remains one of the most important players on the Cincinnati Reds going forward.
There are several reasons why Nick Senzel’s name kept coming up in trade rumors this winter. Senzel is a former first-round pick (No. 2 overall), consensus Top 10 prospect before his major league debut last season, and is a skilled fielder and hitter.
