Reds starting pitcher Justin Dunn is shut down for 'a couple months'
GOODYEAR, Ariz. – When the Cincinnati Reds acquired starting pitcher Justin Dunn in the Eugenio Suárez trade with the Seattle Mariners last year, general manager Nick Krall knew that Dunn was battling a major shoulder injury. The hope was that Dunn, one of four players in the deal, would rebound and give the Reds’ rotation depth down the road.
One calendar year later, Dunn is dealing with the same issue in his right shoulder, a combination of inflammation and subscapularis. Dunn met with a medical specialist in New York this week, and he’ll be sidelined for the next couple of months as he rehabs.
