Right-hander Aaron Harang threw for the first time Tuesday since going on the disabled list, a 70-foot long-toss session.
Shortstop/outfielder Jerry Hairston Jr. ran in the field for the first time since going on the DL.
The official club comment on how each did was, "Without complaint," and both will be examined Wednesday morning.
"Uneventful," is the way pitching coach Dick Pole described Harang's test of his right forearm. "I like it when the trainers use the word uneventful."
Harang pitched a game in Wrigley Field before the All-Star break and awoke the next morning with pain in his right forearm. He is eligible to come off the DL on Wednesday, but he is not close to returning to the rotation.
Hairston strained his right hamstring on the day before the All-Star break. He is eligible to come off the DL on July 29 and feels he is on track to do so.
REDS 4, PADRES 3 (11 innings): Jeff Keppinger, 0-for-5 at the time, pulled a game-winning double down the left field line in the 11th inning. The Reds lead the majors with 10 walk-off victories. Johnny Cueto gave up three runs over six innings, and the combination of Jeremy Affeldt, Mike Lincoln, Bill Bray and Gary Majewski held the Padres to no runs and two hits over the final five innings.

For all those Haters out there we NEED Adam Dunn! He is the only player in the Reds lineup who puts fear into opposing pitchers... He strikes out makes some errors but if the Reds have any sense they will sign him up long term! I seriously don't understand why Red
Talk about the trade rumor of Donkey to Oakland for Street? Anyone else heard anything like this?
What would you all think about this trade? I personally wouldn't mind it as long as we went out and spent some money for a bat in the offseason. I'm not a big Dunn guy, I'm more old fashioned, I like batting average and doing the little things to get guys in.&n
