Amir Garrett, Lucas Sims Expect To Be Ready For Opening Day
4 years agoDespite not appearing in a Cactus League game yet, Cincinnati Reds relievers Amir Garrett (forearm) and Lucas Sims (elbow) both expect to be ready for Opening Day. Both relievers are being counted on as key members of the Cincinnati bullpen, with one of them expected to serve as the Reds' primary closer. Left-hander Sean Doolittle also was considered a candidate for the role but he has struggled greatly this spring. Both Sims and Garrett faced live batters in batting practice on Wednesday and felt good afterward. They are both likely to get their next taste of action in a "B" game on Saturday. Fantasy gamers looking for cheap saves should keep an eye on the situation as Opening Day draws closer as whoever wins the role will shape up as an interesting fantasy reliever.
