Reds' Zack Cozart: Not guaranteed to play Friday

Cozart (knee) took grounders on the field prior to Wednesday's game, and while he's targeting a Friday return, that start isn't assured, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "I don't think it'll be a whole lot longer, but at the same time we'll continue to err on the side of caution to make sure to the best of our ability we can avoid setbacks," manager Bryan Price said.

Analysis:

Cozart did report feeling good and not hindered while taking those grounders. "It just feels good to be back out there, moving around and not being hindered," Cozart said. "So far, so good. I said it earlier in the week, my main concern is moving out on defense. I don't anticipate hitting being a big deal since I felt so good out there defensively."
