McLain’s Shoulder Soreness Keeps Him Out | Cincinnati Reds News

Reds’ second baseman Matt McLain sits out Saturday’s game due to soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder, aggravated by a diving play and awkward ground ball contact Friday. Though he insists it’s just inflammation and stiffness—expected after surgery—he’s cautious about re-aggravating it. Manager Terry Francona calls it a muscular issue and stresses avoiding further dives. Juan Brito steps in at second base (originally slated for third), as the team monitors McLain closely before deciding his return. All tests are clear; no long-term concerns, but safety first for the rest of the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
