Barring any setbacks, Reds closer Aroldis Chapman (head) is expected to be activated in time for Friday's series opener against the Rockies, manager Bryan Price told MLB.com on Sunday.
Chapman began his rehab assignment on Thursday and is scheduled to make two more rehab appearances this week before he is activated.
"He'll pitch a couple times for Louisville and then meet us back here when we come off the road," Price said.
