CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Reds lost a game to the weather -- a recurring problem this season -- and took a couple more steps toward getting some injured players back on the roster. The opening game of a series with the Chicago Cubs was postponed on Monday following a 57-minute delay to the first pitch. It was the eighth postponement in 12 years at Great American Ball Park. The game wasnt immediately rescheduled. Manager Bryan Price said the game wont be made up during this series. The Cubs visit for a four-game series from July 7-10. "Theres no way well make it up in this series," Price said. "The way it works out, well probably be able to make it up during that series in July before the All-Star break." Rain has been a problem in Cincinnati this season. The Reds have had one game postponed and another suspended overnight because of rain. Theyve had rain delays for four of the 10 games totalling 8 hours, 57 minutes. The teams will stay on schedule with their starters. Chicagos Jeff Samardzija will face the Reds Alfredo Simon on Tuesday night. It will be Simons first scheduled start since an unidentified woman filed a civil lawsuit against him in a Washington, D.C. court last Thursday, claiming he sexually assaulted her in a hotel one year ago. "I take him at his word that nothing happened and hes assured me that hes ready to pitch and his focus is on pitching," Price said. Simon has been one of Cincinnatis best starters while filling in for the injured Mat Latos, who had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee on Feb. 14. Simon is 3-1 with a 1.30 earned run average in four starts. Latos had a setback in his recovery from the knee problem when he developed soreness in his pitching forearm near the elbow. He has resumed playing catch and could get back to throwing off the bullpen mound later this week. "Once we get him on the mound a couple of times, then we go out there and do a simulated game and then get him into rehab games," Price said. "Hes not like starting from square one, even though hes just playing catch now. "If we dont have any setbacks, we should be able to progress pretty quickly through this rehab." Closer Aroldis Chapman is scheduled to throw to Reds batters again on Tuesday before the game. If that goes well, he could start a rehab stint in the minors. Chapman was hit on the forehead by a line drive on March 19 and had a metal plate inserted in his forehead to help fractures heal. "If everything goes well with that (on Tuesday), then we anticipate getting him out on a short rehab and then having him back with us pretty quickly," Price said. Samardzija is trying to break a streak of 11 straight starts without a win since last Aug. 30. Samardzija has pitched well -- quality starts his last eight games -- but the Cubs have scored only 21 runs while he was on the mound in the last 10 games. Last Wednesday, Samardzija left with a 5-2 lead before Arizona rallied for a 7-5 win. The Cubs havent fared well against the Reds overall. They dropped two of three at Wrigley Field this month and havent won the season series against Cincinnati since 2009. Theyre 6-16 against Cincinnati over the last two seasons and 10-28 over the last three. NOTES: Cubs RH Jake Arrieta will be activated off the DL and could start later this week. Hes been sidelined since March 21 with tightness in his pitching shoulder. RH Carlos Villanueva will move into the bullpen. ... RF Nate Schierholtz was going to get a day off. ... The Reds Skip Schumaker started a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Irsay underwent treatment after he was arrested for having $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his car. The NFL owners meetings are Irsays first public appearance since the arrest. Irsay, 54, said Monday he is "feeling decent," but would not say if he would address his personal situation with the owners on Tuesday, insisting he is in Atlanta representing the bid committee. "Im here, if you want to talk about the Super Bowl bid or the Colts, Im here to answer that," Irsay said. "Im not going to really say anything beyond that." Irsay faces four felony counts of possession of controlled substances. He likely will be disciplined by the league at some point. Asked if his arrest could affect the Indianapolis bid, Irsay was evasive. "Im excited about the bid and the job weve done in the past," he said. "I know in terms of trying to intertwine questions, that is your job, but Im not really addressing those issues. Im here like always to try to get this Super Bowl for Indianapolis." He said hes kept informed on team affairs, although the Colts are being run by his daughtter, Carlie, and general manager Ryan Grigson.dddddddddddd "I havent been in a coma or anything like that," Irsay said. "Ive been clued into everything thats been going on the last few months. Its good to be at this meeting, really kind of focus on the Super Bowl bid. Im really not going to talk about any personal medical issues or that sort of thing, but just grateful to be back, and certainly have a lot of appreciation for the support Ive received. Im all in. "It feels good to be back and Im excited about our chances tomorrow." Indianapolis, which hosted a highly successful Super Bowl in 2012 when the Giants beat the Patriots, is competing with New Orleans and Minneapolis for the 2018 game. Irsay sounded eager to get back into the daily work of running his franchise, although he admitted he is not finished with his rehab. "Its a love. The league is dear to me," he said. "Family business, youre blessed to be part of something like that. Its a great privilege to be part of the NFL; you dont take for granted ... you just treasure it. I kind of feel like were getting ready for a big game. Its one of those win-lose situations." ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' ' |
