DeSclafani (elbow) likely won't be ready to start on Opening Day, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
DeSclafani is tabbed as the Reds' top starter entering the 2017 season, but it's looking like he won't take the mound on Opening Day due to the elbow tenderness that he's been dealing with during spring camp. However, it is being reported that he could make his first start as early as the second regular season game, which is an encouraging sign.
