GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds pitcher Keyvius Sampson is trying to earn a role in the bullpen this spring, but a setback will keep him from pitching for the near future. Sampson, who had bone chips removed from his right elbow after last season, is feeling triceps discomfort in the same arm.
"I'm out for a little bit," Sampson said Monday morning. "They don't think it's too much to worry about. I had the operation last year. I think they're just saying the elbow is back getting used to it. It's going a little slower right now.
