Kennedy was kept around until word on Lively came back positive. If Lively was still out until after the break, Kennedy was going to be Sunday's starter and Santillan would have taken Lively's spot.
When I saw Lively in the dugout in Washington, I knew he was coming back soon . . . the Reds have a policy of injured players not traveling with the team with the rare exceptions of Votto and other clubhouse leaders like Bronson Arroyo, etc.. Lively doesn't have that status in the clubhouse.
Regardless of how this season finishes up, the Reds should fly or bus everyone involved in Louisville, Chattanooga and Dayton into Cincinnati for a BBQ weekend. This team is so young right now and so tight, this might help future players when they do break into the show. Most of the MLB Reds have recently been playing in those cities so seeing everyone in a relaxed atmosphere instead of only when almost everyone in the franchise is fighting for a job in Spring Training might help keep that comradery going for years to come.
