Schebler (elbow) has continued his rehab assignment with Double-A Pensacola, where he went 1-for-3 with a double Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
He's getting closer to returning with the Reds, but has had to do his rehab work at Double-A because of the awful weather the Reds' Triple-A Louisville affiliate has run into, with games cancelled the last two days.

Schebler (elbow) has feeling back in his fingers Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Schebler (elbow) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Schebler has already missed a week of action, but even though the team consistently thought he was on the verge of a return, he'll head to the DL. DL stints can only be backdated three days, so the earliest the outfielder can return is next Monday ahead of the Reds' matchup with the Brewers. Phillip Ervin could factor into the outfield rotation with Schebler out. To replace the injured slugger on the active roster, pitcher Zack Weiss was recalled from Triple-A Louisville.

Schebler (elbow) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Schebler is slated to miss his sixth consecutive game early in the season as he is still experiencing some side effects after being hit by a pitch on his right elbow last Sunday. Jesse Winker draws the start in right field against Jameson Taillon and the Pirates, while Schebler remains a true day-to-day case.

Schebler (elbow) still lacks feeling in his fingers after being hit by a pitch Sunday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
That explains why Schebler has remained out of the lineup despite multiple reports of his imminent return. At this point, the Reds probably wish they had placed him on the disabled list right away, as he'd now be just four days away from returning. However, since DL stints can only be backdated three days, he would have to be out at least a week from the day that they place him on the DL. The team remains confident that he'll return sooner than that, so they're still unlikely to place him on the DL.

Schebler (elbow) is again not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Schebler has been out since Monday with a sore elbow. There had been reports in the past two days that his return to the lineup was imminent, but he remains on the bench. He's now been out for six days, over half of the minimum time required for a stay on the disabled list, though there have been no reports stating that a DL stint is imminent.
