Manager David Bell said Saturday that Schrock (calf) is expected to start a rehab assignment soon, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock sustained a left calf strain in early April and began the season on the 60-day injured list. Although he isn't eligible to be activated until early June, the 27-year-old will likely be cleared to return to game action in the minors soon, which would presumably put him in line to rejoin the Reds around the time when he's first eligible to return.

Schrock (calf) participated in agility drills on the field Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock sustained a left calf strain late in spring training and is on the 60-day injured list to begin the regular season. While it's encouraging that he was able to get some work in Friday, he won't be eligible to play in games for the Reds until at least early June. It's not yet clear whether he'll have a major-league roster spot once he's healthy.

Schrock will begin the season on the 60-day injured list, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock strained his left calf Sunday and was initially expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks. He'll now be forced to miss even more time than that, as he'll be ineligible for anything other than rehab games prior to early July. It's far from guaranteed that he'll earn a major-league roster spot once healthy, as he owns a 93 wRC+ in 64 career games at the highest level.

Reds manager David Bell said Monday that Schrock will be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks due to a left calf strain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury suffered in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks is a tough break for Schrock, who looked well on his way to making the Reds' Opening Day roster after submitting a 1.456 OPS through 23 spring at-bats. Schrock is now due to miss at least the first month of the season, and he may not have a role with the big club waiting for him if the likes of Donovan Solano (hamstring) and Jose Barrero (hand) are able to beat him back from the injured list. With Schrock sidelined, Brandon Drury looks in good shape to begin the season as the Reds' top utility man.

Schrock was diagnosed with a strained left calf after exiting Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock was poised to open the season in a utility role for the Reds, but his availability for Thursday's season opener in Atlanta is now up in the air. The 27-year-old also spent a month on the shelf with a left calf strain last year, though it's unclear how much time he's expected to miss this time around.

Schrock was removed from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks in the top of the third inning with an apparent injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock suffered the injury in question during his groundout to end the second inning. He appeared to be in pain as he retreated to the dugout after the at-bat, but the Reds have yet to provide any specifics about his injury. The 27-year-old entered Sunday's contest with a 1.456 OPS in Cactus League play and looked like a good bet to break camp with the Reds, but he could now be at risk of beginning the season on the injured list.

Schrock will be competing with Colin Moran and Donovan Solano for a roster spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock is capable of playing many positions, which works in his favor, but he has less experience than Solano and Moran, both of whom signed major league deals with the team. Schrock was capable if not exciting last year for the Reds, hitting .288/.328/.448 in 134 plate appearances.

Schrock isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Delino DeShields starts in left field in place of Schrock, who went 0-for-4 on Saturday and is hitting .222 in his last 10 games.

Schrock went 1-for-1 with a triple, one RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock pinch-hit for Delino Deshields in the ninth inning and tripled off Kyle Finnegan. He started the late comeback attempt and was a part of the only two runs scored by the Reds. He primarily serves as a bench-bat and has just two RBI since Aug. 3. The 26-year-old is slashing .312/.360/.473 with two long balls, nine RBI and 14 runs scored in 100 plate appearances this season.

Schrock isn't starting Thursday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Schrock will head to the bench with left-hander Patrick Corbin starting for Washington. Delino DeShields will start in left field and bat seventh.
