Reds RP Jared Burton missed all three games at Milwaukee because of a strained lateral muscle. The team hopes he can avoid a trip to the DL because of the All-Star break, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. “We’ll have him throw Thursday,” manager Dusty Baker said. “If he’s not (better), we’ll disable him and get help from Louisville.” Burton is a solid middle reliever for deeper leagues that use true middle men. He could develop into a closer someday, but Francisco Cordero has a long-term deal he signed this winter, so don’t expect it at this point. (CBS Sports)
