If all goes well in Aroldis Chapman's two Minor League rehab assignments this week, the Cincinnati Reds are expected to have the closer back this Friday.

"He'll pitch a couple times for Louisville and then meet us back here when we come off the road," Bryan Price said.

Chapman is scheduled to start and pitch one inning Tuesday night for Triple-A Louisville against Norfolk, then pitch one inning of relief for the Bats during Wednesday's day game.
