Nick Senzel, Lucas Sims To Begin Rehab Assignment Next Week
3 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) and relief pitcher Lucas Sims (elbow) are scheduled to start their rehab assignments with Triple-A Louisville next week. Barring any setbacks, both Senzel and Sims could rejoin the Reds in early August. Senzel had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in late May, but he is capable of providing a nice power-speed combination to fantasy managers in mixed leagues if he's playing regularly. Tyler Naquin, who has cooled off somewhat after a strong first half, might be the one to lose out the most in terms of outfield playing time when Senzel returns. Sims has been out since late June with a right elbow sprain, but he should return to receive save chances down the stretch. Pick him up and stash him now if you need help in the saves category. Sims had allowed 16 earned runs in 28 2/3 innings before the injury, but he also had a 13.8 K/BB and seven saves in 28 relief outings.
