Nolan Reimold (neck) thinks he's "almost ready" to return to the lineup. Reimold has sat out four straight and five of the last six games with neck spasms, but he took some swings in the batting cage before batting practice Wednesday and is improving. "I think I'm almost ready," Reimold said. "It's getting better. It's getting there. I took some swings in the cage. I just want to get this over with and get back on the field." It remains to be seen if Reimold will be ready Thursday, but it appears that a DL stint won't be needed.
