Cincinnati
Reds All-Star second baseman Scooter
Gennett injured his right leg while fielding a grounder against
Milwaukee and was helped off the field.
Gennett ranged to his left for a ball off the bat of Yasmani
Grandal leading off the second inning Friday. Gennett slid to
make the stop and threw to pitcher Robert
Stephenson covering first for the out. Gennett went to his
knees and was helped off by Reds head athletic trainer Steve Baumann and
manager David Bell.
Cincinnati says Gennett was to have an MRI.
The 28-year-old Gennett reached the majors with the Brewers
in 2013 and was claimed off waivers by his hometown Reds near the end of spring
training two years ago. He made his first All-Star team last season, hitting
.310 with 23 homers and 92 RBI.
Top prospect Nick Senzel could be a candidate to replace
Gennett. Senzel was reassigned to minor league camp earlier Friday.
Zach Davies pitched
5 1/3 innings for Milwaukee in a 6-4 win over the Reds. Davies found out
Thursday he had a spot in the Brewers' rotation.
FROM AROUND THE GRAPEFRUIT AND CACTUS LEAGUES:
RAYS 3, PIRATES 2

Garcia had three hits and two RBI, Brandon Lowe had
two hits and Casey Sadler struck out three in three scoreless relief innings
for Tampa Bay. Sadler was re-assigned to minor league camp after the Rays'
final game in Port Charlotte this spring.
Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang started
at shortstop in what manager Clint Hurdle dubbed an "experiment."
Kang was a shortstop before injuring his knee in September of 2015. He missed
most of the past two seasons due to legal troubles surrounding three DUI
arrests in his native South Korea and a wrist injury last season. Kang had two
hits, including a double.
