Reds pitcher Raisel Iglesias could miss start of season after slipping in shower

A home mishap could keep Cincinnati Reds right-hander Raisel Iglesias sidelined for the start of the 2017 season.

According to Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer on Thursday, Iglesias slipped in the shower three weeks ago, resulting in a bone bruise in his pitching elbow and soreness in both his hips. He reportedly will not resume throwing again for another several days, and Reds manager Bryan Price was quoted as saying that Iglesias may not be ready for Opening Day.

The 27-year-old reliever made 37 appearances for the Reds in 2016, going 3-2 with a 2.53 ERA, six saves, and seven holds. He figures to play a key role out of the Cincinnati bullpen this season with very few quality arms to choose from.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen an athlete get hurt from slipping in the shower in the last few months, and the hope here is that Iglesias won’t have to open the 2017 campaign on the disabled list.
