Tests On Jim Edmonds Rule Out Achilles Tear

Reds outfielder Jim Edmonds sounded pessimistic earlier when discussing his recent Achilles injury, but tests performed didn’t show a tear, which comes as a welcome relief. Edmonds may still not be able to return, as he remains very sore, but he’ll give his body a little while to feel better while wearing a protective boot, and will then re-evaluate the situation.

Edmonds has been extremely limited in his time with the Reds. The team, though, would at least love to have his bat available off the bench in the playoffs.
