Reds' Zack Cozart: Targeting Friday return

Cozart (knee) is targeting a Friday return to the lineup in Arizona, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "I was hoping today because you always want to feel good - and I do feel a lot better - but I'd say Friday would be a pretty good target date," Cozart said before Tuesday's game. "For sure this time. Judging by the way I feel today, I should be back soon."

Analysis:

That the Reds are off on Thursday for a travel day helped them decide to wait instead of starting him Wednesday night against the Rangers.
