The Reds took extra precautions to make sure that Cingrani did not start throwing too soon and aggravate the injury. "That's one of the reason he didn't start throwing exactly when we anticipated he would be able to, to avoid any chance of that," manager Bryan Price said. "So we're doing everything we can to keep this particular injury from going and getting really sideways on us and being a long rehab."
