CINCINNATI -- As it poured rain early Saturday afternoon, Reds left-handed reliever Amir Garrett passed a test in the indoor cage when he threw 25 pitches to a hitter. The hitter wasn't swinging but simply standing in the batter's box.
"I was just locating my pitches. I felt good and I feel good," Garrett said on Sunday. "It went very well. We'll see how it goes today but I feel good. I feel like I am ready."
Garrett has been on the 10-day disabled list since Aug.
