Finnegan (shoulder) is scheduled to throw two innings in an extended spring training game Tuesday and will likely begin a rehab assignment after that, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Finnegan hasn't pitched in the majors since mid April due to his shoulder issue, but the light at the end of the tunnel appears to be approaching. The southpaw notched nine strikeouts over seven innings in his first start of the season, but the injured shoulder likely impacted his ability in his only other two showings, which lasted a combined three innings. Further information on his progress and a timetable for return could arise following his two frames Tuesday.
