Reds manager Bryan Price said he's "very confident" starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani will be part of the rotation, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. However, Price added DeSclafani will have to earn his spot in the rotation this spring.
The Reds acquired DeSclafani in the December trade that sent Mat Latos to the Marlins. He went 26-16 with a 3.23 ERA over three seasons in the minors.
