Worth noting

• Injured pitchers Johnny Cueto (right lat muscle) and Sean Marshall (left shoulder) continued their throwing programs on Friday. Both long tossed at 90 feet without issues.

• On the field before batting practice Friday, Reds closer Aroldis Chapman played catch with Cincinnati Ballet principle dancer Cervilio Miguel Amador. Amador, a fellow Cuban, was occasionally mixing in pirouettes with his throws to Chapman. Sunday is Cincinnati Ballet Day at Great American Ball Park and Amador is slated to throw a ceremonial first pitch.
