[quote]PHOENIX - There's a chance left-hander Eric Milton will be making a start for the Reds eight days from now, on May 15.

But there's a catch. That's the day the [b]Reds play the Pittsburgh Pirates in an exhibition game in Cooperstown, N.Y.[/b]

"We've talked about him making a rehab start there," Reds manager Jerry Narron said. "We'll see where he is."


Milton is on the 15-day disabled list, recovering from April 24 surgery on his left knee.

Milton threw a bullpen session Friday. He'll throw another one today, going 60-70 pitches.

"His volume of pitches is about where it needs to be," trainer Mark Mann said. "We'll see how he feels after the session (today)."

After the surgery, it was estimated that Milton would miss between three and four weeks.[/quote]

Can someone please explain why the Reds are playing an exhibition game in May?
