Cincinnati Reds right-hander Anthony DeSclafani will make his 2018 debut on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies, the team announced Sunday.
DeSclafani has been sidelined by a strained left oblique that he suffered in spring training.
He missed all of last season with a sprained elbow. Tuesday's start will be his first since Sept. 28, 2016, against the St. Louis Cardinals.
He was 9-5 with a 3.28 ERA in 2016, a season in which he also was sidelined until June with a strained left oblique.
DeSclafani is 20-20 with a 3.99 ERA in 341 career innings over 64 appearances (56 starts).
