Reds manager David Bell said Monday that Schrock will be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks due to a left calf strain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury suffered in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks is a tough break for Schrock, who looked well on his way to making the Reds' Opening Day roster after submitting a 1.456 OPS through 23 spring at-bats. Schrock is now due to miss at least the first month of the season, and he may not have a role with the big club waiting for him if the likes of Donovan Solano (hamstring) and Jose Barrero (hand) are able to beat him back from the injured list. With Schrock sidelined, Brandon Drury looks in good shape to begin the season as the Reds' top utility man.
