There is no timetable for McLain to return. The Reds reportedly hope to get him back this season, which isn't exactly a great sign. It figures to primarily be Jonathan India at second base and Elly De La Cruz at shortstop this season for the Reds.

The Reds said they found “something” on MRI on Matt McLain’s left shoulder.
