Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona provided injury updates on two key players before Thursday’s series finale against the Minnesota Twins.
You can see Mike Petraglia’s full update here.
Francona said the MRI on Marte’s groin came back good and he will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
The infielder has been on the injured list since May 7 with a left oblique strain. He is hitting .294 with eight extra-base hits in 19 games with the Reds this season.
Hays has started running the bases and Francona mentioned he’s feeling good. He will wear a protective pad on his left foot going forward.
The outfielder has been on the injured list since May 30 after he fouled a ball off of his foot in a game against the Kansas City Royals.
Hays is hitting .303 with six home runs in 31 games for Cincinnati this season. He’s been one of the most consistent hitters in the lineup when healthy, but hasn’t been able to stay healthy.
