Right-hander Aaron Harang has tightness in his forearm and won't make his scheduled start Saturday against the Nationals.
Manager Dusty Baker says it isn't serious and that Harang will start Tuesday in Wrigley Field against the Cubs. Harang spent Friday morning on a training-room table taking treatment.
"Harang has had a little stiffness in his forearm muscle, the same thing he had a couple of years ago," said Baker. "I'm told they skipped him a start and he was fine the rest of the year."
Josh Fogg comes off the disabled list to start Saturday's game after missing more than a month with lower back tightness.
"A month in the minors went good; now it's time to test the big-league level again," said Fogg. "My first round (with the Reds) was not too successful (1-2, 9.85 ERA, four starts, seven relief appearances). Let's hope my second round is better."
REDS 3, NATIONALS 0: RHP Bronson Arroyo pitched six scoreless innings, giving up five hits, and got the offensive support he needed in the first inning on a double by CF Jay Bruce and a home run by RF Ken Griffey Jr., the 604th of his career.

I will be mad if the Reds dont go after this guy hard. He is a gold glove, leadoff hitting SS with speed that solves 3 problems in 1 for the Reds. He just turned 31 and reportedly the As offered 4 yrs - $48 mil. The Reds need to offer him a better deal to come to Cincy obviously and I think they should. Any insight or thoughts?
