The reports were positive following Reds starting pitcher Raisel Iglesias' rehab outing with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, manager Bryan Price said. Iglesias will likely make two more rehab starts before joining the rotation after the All-Star break.
Iglesias (oblique) threw three scoreless innings Tuesday. He allowed one hit and one walk, while striking out three. He threw 27 of 43 pitches for strikes.
"Very sharp," Price said Wednesday, per MLB.com. "I think he threw 21 pitches in the first inning, worked around an error and a walk. So I guess that was 22 pitches over the next two innings, so very, very efficient. He felt great, no issues at all with the oblique.
"He'll get up to probably that neighborhood of 65-plus pitches in his next outing, but I'd say it's more likely post All-Star break that he'll be ready to re-enter the rotation."
