Manager Bryan Price said Finnegan (shoulder) is an option to make start Monday's game against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
With Amir Garrett heading back to Triple-A on Friday, Finnegan could return from the disabled list to take his next turn in the rotation. The 24-year-old tossed five innings for Triple-A Louisville in his third rehab start, so it appears he'll be ready to go in the near future even if he doesn't start Monday's contest.
