SARASOTA, Fla. -- Greetings from Ed Smith Stadium, a 7,500-seat ballpark in the middle of an athletic complex. The big news here, at least for the folks who cover the Reds, is the spring-training debut of Ken Griffey Jr., who broke his left hand in December. Griffey is batting fourth and playing right field.You're probably more interested in the Phillies, so you should know that RHP Freddy Garcia (right biceps tenderness) and C Carlos Ruiz (right shoulder soreness) will see team doctor Michael Ciccotti today in Clearwater, about an hour north of here. The results of those examinations, which are scheduled to take place at about 2 p.m., may determine whether Garcia and Ruiz need to go on the disabled list. As always, I'll post updates when they become available.
RHP Adam Eaton pitches today for the Phillies against Reds RHP Bronson Arroyo. Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Aaron Rowand have the day off.
More later.
