Mat Latos limped to the clubhouse Thursday after being hit by a Bronson Arroyo batting practice foul ball on his right lower leg. "There was a noticeable welt," observes MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. Latos is scheduled to start on Saturday against Zack Greinke and the Dodgers. His status isn't likely to be affected, but Cincinnati will carefully examine the ankle before making an announcement. Sheldon later tweeted that Latos had returned to the field and "doesn't appear to be limping much anymore."

Mat Latos tossed his first complete game of the season in Monday's 7-2 defeat of the Cardinals.

The 25-year-old right-hander allowed just four total hits in his nine frames and struck out two. He'll carry a 14-5 record and 2.98 ERA into his next scheduled outing at home against the National League West-leading Dodgers.

He'll try to bounce back next week when he faces the Cardinals again (but this time at home).

He has allowed a total of six runs over his last six starts, lowering his ERA from 3.38 to 2.93 in the process. He'll try to keep things going next week in a crucial NL Central showdown against the Cardinals.
