Michael Lorenzen made his first appearance in a game since mid-March when he was pitching for the Cincinnati Reds in spring training. A shoulder injury has kept him off of the mound since then, though he has thrown some bullpen sessions out in Goodyear as a part of his rehab process. Last night the right-handed pitcher took his first step as he took the mound to start the game for the Arizona Complex League Reds – Cincinnati’s rookie level affiliate in Goodyear.
While he did start the game, the plan is for Michael Lorenzen to return to the Reds as a reliever.
