Reds trainer Paul Lessard said Wednesday that Chris Heisey (hamstring) is able to job at about "80 percent effort." Heisey landed on the disabled list in late April due to a hamstring strain and aggravated the injury during a rehab assignment last week. His absence is expected to stretch into June.

The Reds have determined that Chris Heisey's hamstring aggravation was not severe. "It wasn't horrendous," assistant general manager Bob Miller said. "He tweaked it." Heisey won't return until the next homestand, which runs from May 24-28, at the earliest. It's certainly possible his absence could stretch into June.

Chris Heisey re-strained his right hamstring on Monday night at Double-A Pensacola and has been pulled off his minor league rehab assignment. Heisey will head to Cincinnati to be evaluated by team doctors. He had been aiming to return to the Reds this week but could now struggle to make it back before the end of May. The outfielder has been on the disabled list since April 27.

Chris Heisey left Monday's rehab game with Double-A Pensacola with discomfort in his hamstring. Heisey, who was rehabbing a strained oblique, suffered the injury while making a shoestring catch in the first inning. The Reds should have an update on his status on Tuesday, but it appears his return will be pushed back.

Chris Heisey (oblique) left his first rehab game on Monday with Double-A Pensacola for precautionary reasons. Heisey was originally scheduled to play seven innings, but he left after he made a shoestring catch to end the top of the first inning. "I don't think he re-aggravated it, but I just didn't like the way he was moving and there is no reason to push that," said Pensacola manager Delino DeShields. "We are going to be as careful as we can with him. He probably won't play (tonight) and we'll see how it goes from there." The Reds were hoping Heisey would be ready to return by Friday, but his timeline will likely be pushed back now.

Chris Heisey (hamstring) is slated to be activated from the disabled list on Friday. Heisey will begin a short rehab assignment with Double-A Pensacola on Monday. "I'm feeling great, rehab is going well," Heisey said on Saturday. "The training staff has done a great job and walked me through it. I'd never hurt my hamstring before, it's a new thing for me. Feeling really good now."

Chris Heisey (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Pensacola on Monday.

Chris Heisey (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Pensacola. He'll likely only need a handful of at-bats before being activated. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since April 27 due to a strained right hamstring. He should get the bulk of the playing time in left field upon his return.

Chris Heisey (hamstring) has been jogging and hitting. He's yet to do any running, but Heisey said that doesn't mean the hamstring isn't getting better. "I can't come off the DL for a week," Heisey said. "There's no reason to test it now. It feels good. Every day I've been able to go a little faster."

Reds placed OF Chris Heisey on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 27, with a right hamstring strain. Heisey suffered the injury during Saturday's loss to the Nationals and will likely need at least 2-3 weeks of down time. The Reds will call up Donald Lutz to provide some depth while Heisey is sidelined.
