Adleman (oblique) has made two rehab starts and feels good so far, but the Reds are taking extra precautions to avoid rushing him back, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Adleman has been surprised how long the recovery from the oblique strain has taken, but he's also seen in the organization how long it can be following Anthony DeSclafani's experience. "I wasn't 100 percent sure on how long it would take," Adleman said. "But given that it was diagnosed as a mild strain, I was pretty optimistic. I know with obliques in the past, if you try to rush back, sometimes they can come back to bite you. It's definitely been longer than I thought, but I was glad I was able to get the time to get it right. Now I feel like it's just about ready."
