Mat Latos allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Angels on Wednesday.

Latos struck out eight Angels batters but gave up seven hits in the game. A year after going 14-4 with a 3.48 ERA, Latos should be even better for the Reds in 2013. He's not an ace, but he's a solid No. 2 in fantasy leagues.

Mat Latos labored through three innings in his final tune-up start, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk against the Royals.

Latos did record five strikeouts, but two of the nine base knocks he gave up went over the fence. Most importantly, though, is that his ankle wasn't an issue. Latos finishes Cactus League play with a 5.49 ERA, but he punched out 21 batters over 19 2/3 frames.

X-rays on Mat Latos's left ankle came back negative.

Latos was hit by a comebacker during Saturday's start and had to leave early. He's still in some pain but expects to make his next scheduled Cactus League start. "I better be able to make my next start. I'm not one to sit out," Latos said.

Mat Latos left in the sixth inning of his start against the Rangers Saturday after being hit in the right shin by a line drive.

Latos exited the field under his own power, so the move was likely precautionary on the part of the Reds. The 25-year-old is expected to play a big part in the team's success in 2013, so there's little reason to take risks with his health a week from Opening Day.
