He is at least a month away.
Reds starting pitcher Edinson Volquez got some good news. He was cleared to begin throwing. But he’ll be starting virtually from scratch. "That’s bad,” he said. Volquez will start Friday by throwing from 60 feet off flat ground. He’ll build up to 120 feet in long toss, then begin throwing off the mound. That will be followed by a couple of rehab starts in minors to build arm strength.“I don’t feel any pain,” he said. “He stretched it, twisted it. He’s going to check me every time I throw.”
