WASHINGTON -- The patience of rehab drove Brandon Finnegan crazy.
In his third start of the season on April 15, Finnegan suffered the first major injury of his career -- a shoulder injury -- that sent him to the disabled list. The left-hander has spent the past two months rehabbing, and made three Minor League starts in June.
But Finnegan finally felt at ease Saturday. He's expected to come off the DL and rejoin the rotation against the Cardinals on Monday, so he traveled with the team to Washington for their final two games in the Reds' series against the Nationals, hanging out with his teammates for the first time in about a month.
