3 years agoCincinnati Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims (elbow) made two straight relief appearances at Triple-A on Wednesday and Thursday and is nearing a return to the majors. Reds manager David Bell told reporters that Sims could be back with the Reds this weekend. Sims has pitched a total of 4.2 innings at Triple-A during this current rehab stint and has struggled to the tune of a 3.86 ERA and 1.93 WHIP while recording four strikeouts. He's had an uneven year in the majors. Over 28 relief appearances, he has gone 4-1 with a 5.02 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP and a 34.9% strikeout rate. He is tied for second on the Reds in saves with seven and could work his way back into the closing mix yet again upon his return.
