Emilio Pagan Expected To Need 3-5 Rehab Outings
4 months agoCincinnati Reds right-handed reliever Emilio Pagan (lat) started his minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, tossing a scoreless inning with one strikeout. Pagan is expected to have three to five rehab outings before being activated from the 60-day injured list. He threw live batting practice to hitters on July 30 at Great American Ball Park and is eligible for activation from the 60-day IL on Thursday. The 33-year-old veteran initially went on the 15-day IL back in June but could be back with the Reds before the calendar flips to September. Pagan wasn't exactly pitching all that well in his first year in Cincy before his injury out of the bullpen, as he posted a 4.43 ERA (4.20 FIP) and 1.38 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and seven walks in 20 1/3 innings of work.
