Bowman was sent to minor-league camp Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman didn't allow an earned run in six spring innings and recorded a 7:1 K:BB, but that wasn't enough to earn him an Opening Day bullpen spot. He could be up in the big leagues at some point this season but won't be a particularly dangerous weapon there, as his career ERA in 149.1 major-league innings sits at a mediocre 4.10.

Bowman (lat) will start Thursday night's split squad game against the Mariners in Peoria.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't really a change in roles for Bowman, but more of a way to insist that he gets his work in, albeit against the Mariners minor leaguers. He has pitched three scoreless innings since getting a late start in spring training.

Bowman (lat) is listed among the Reds' pitchers scheduled to take the hill in Thursday's "B" game versus the Indians, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman has yet to make his Cactus League debut while dealing with a lat strain, but that could come within the next few days if he escapes Thursday's appearance no worse for the wear. The righty won't require many outings to build up his arm for the start of the regular season, but the time he has already missed during camp might have nonetheless hindered his chances of winning an Opening Day bullpen job.

Bowman (lat strain) hasn't yet been scheduled to appear in a spring training game, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman's batting practice session Thursday was deemed a success, yet he still has more hurdles to clear if he's going to be ready for Opening Day.

Bowman (lat) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman has been sidelined for most of spring due to a lat strain, but he's finally nearing a return. If everything goes off without a hitch during Thursday's session against hitters, the right-hander could be cleared to make his Cactus League debut shortly thereafter.

Bowman's injury has been disclosed as a lat strain, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman's chances of making the Opening Day roster could be diminished by his late start to the spring. He's facing a little bit of an uphill battle anyhow.

Bowman (finger) was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman dealt with finger issues throughout the 2018 campaign, appearing in just 23 innings for the big club and struggling to a 6.26 ERA and 1.74 WHIP when healthy. He ultimately underwent surgery in September to address a finger-circulation issue, though he's expected to be fully healthy come spring training. Look for Bowman to compete for a spot in the Reds' Opening Day bullpen.

Bowman posted a photo Wednesday on his personal Twitter account indicating that he underwent season-ending surgery to address a finger-circulation issue.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman was denied a September callup after succumbing to the injury in mid-August while he was pitching for Triple-A Memphis. After resting and rehabbing for the past month, Bowman ultimately opted for a procedure to address the matter, which should allow him to return to the mound at full strength next spring. The 27-year-old made 22 appearances in the big leagues this season, finishing with a 6.26 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 23 innings.

Bowman was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman was shipped back to Memphis after pitching 1.2 innings of relief during Friday's victory. The right-hander also tossed an inning of work Thursday, and wound up allowing three earned runs off six hits over both of those outings. Look for him to return to the fold once the Cardinals need a replenishment in the bullpen.

Bowman was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman will take the place of Miles Mikolas on the active roster after the latter was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Through 20 relief appearances with the Cardinals this year, Bowman has logged a 5.75 ERA and 1.62 WHIP.
