Reds' Albert Almora: Starts up rehab assignment
Albert Almora (shoulder) reported to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment.According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that Almora will likely need around three rehab games to get ramped back up, so the veteran outfielder could be a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list later this weekend. Whenever he's activated, the righty-hitting Almora will likely serve primarily as a short-side platoon mate for one of the Reds' two lefty-hitting regulars in the outfield, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley.

Reds' Albert Almora: Closing in on rehab assignment
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Albert Almora (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment soon, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Bell didn't specify whether Almora will head to the minors later this week or at some point next week, but the veteran outfielder at least looks to be progressing from the right shoulder contusion that landed him on the 10-day injured list Aug. 20. Jake Fraley and TJ Friedl have seemingly taken hold of regular roles in the corner outfield over the past couple weeks, so Almora will likely be limited to the short side of a platoon whenever he makes his way back from the IL.
