Reds manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that Mat Latos has seen a "miraculous improvement" with his right elbow. Latos is dealing with a bone spur, which led to the club going with Johnny Cueto for the Wild Card game. The Reds expect Latos to be ready to start Thursday in St. Louis should they beat Pittsburgh Tuesday, but Baker has left open the possibility that Homer Bailey could get the start. "It would probably be between Homer or Latos," Baker said.
