Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Minor (shoulder) is on track to be ready for Opening Day, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Minor is apparently going through a throwing program while he works his way back from the shoulder issue that dates back to late last season, he has yet to make his Cactus League debut and isn't scheduled to start in any of the Reds' next five spring games, per Goldsmith. Minor could still build up his pitch count by appearing in a simulated game within the next few days, so he sounds like he still has a shot at being part of the Reds' season-opening rotation.
