Reds' Dilson Herrera: Will miss WBC with shoulder injury

Herrera will not play in the World Baseball Classic due to his recent right shoulder inflammation, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis:

The shoulder injury will keep Herrera from representing Colombia, but he can still work on hitting during spring action as he tries to lock down a roster spot out of camp. He'll help his cause more when he gets back to manning the field, though. During his age-23 season, he likely will fill a utility role and start a couple of games per week, though the once-heralded Mets prospect could play his way into more action for the rebuilding Reds.
