CINCINNATI — Opening day is arriving with a little extra fanfare for the Cincinnati Reds this year. They’ve got a division title and an MVP to celebrate.

And they start the season against one of the teams that’s in position to take it away.

The Reds and the Milwaukee Brewers worked out at Great American Ball Park on Wednesday with snow in the air — a numbing reminder that the cold reality of the regular season was one day away. The forecast for Thursday’s opener is dry with temperatures in the 40s.

Reds right-hander Edinson Volquez will face Milwaukee’s Yovani Gallardo. The Reds plan to honor National League MVP Joey Votto before the game.

CARDS’ WAINWRIGHT INJURES ELBOW

(AP) — St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright is getting a second opinion on his injured right elbow, which the team fears will require reconstructive surgery.

Team spokesman Brian Bartow said Wednesday results of MRIs and other tests were being examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles. The team anticipated a news conference today to disclose findings.

Wainwright, a 20-game winner and runner-up for the NL Cy Young Award in 2010, was sent back to St. Louis on Wednesday for tests and consultation with team physician George Paletta. Earlier in the day, general manager John Mozeliak said “things do not look encouraging” for the right-hander, who injured his elbow while throwing batting practice Monday.

Not much else going on in the MLB planet today.
