DeSclafani (oblique) will not make his scheduled start Sunday but manager Bryan Price stated that the young right-hander did not suffer a setback, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
According to Buchanan, DeSclafani is simply just not 100 percent ready to make a start at this point, so the Reds will be cautious and push back his next scheduled start. The Reds have not announced a potential date for DeSclafani to return to the mound, nor have they announced who will start in his place Sunday. Though having his start pushed back sounds worrisome, the fact that DeSclafani did not suffer any setbacks with his oblique is a good sign that he should be able to get back on the mound sooner rather than later.
