Marshall has inflammation in his pitching shoulder and has been shut down in his throwing program. "I was probably a couple of weeks from finishing my throwing program before I got out here," Marshall said. "I repeated my long-toss part every day and I started getting some cuff inflammation. I got here and noticed it, and they slowed me down a little bit until I was 100 percent healthy before advancing to flat ground and mound work. They kind of shut me down. I'm doing more stability stuff and my shoulder feels great the last couple of days. I am just waiting for the green light to resume my long-toss program."
Analysis:
Marshall is questionable at best for Opening Day. The Reds are just hoping that they get some healthy portion of the season. Opening Day is a goal, but isn't a finishing point.
