Reds lefty Brandon Finnegan leaves after 1 inning with strain

CINCINNATI -- Reds left-hander Brandon Finnegan left after only one inning Saturday because of a strained left lat muscle.

Finnegan walked three, threw a wild pitch and allowed a pair of runs by the Brewers. He threw only 10 strikes out of 24 pitches and was replaced by Robert Stephenson in the second inning.

Finnegan's injury further depletes Cincinnati's rotation. Both Homer Bailey and Anthony DeSclafani opened the season on the disabled list and aren't close to returning from elbow problems. Rookie Davis is on the disabled list with a bruised right forearm.
