The postponement cost Cody Reed the chance to make his first start of the season.

“It affects Cody Reed really the most,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “We’re not going to push everyone back. We’ve already got (Wednesday) off, which pushes everybody back an extra day, so Cody, we’ll get him ready and slot him tentatively on (Monday) and continue to work to keep him ready and then we’ll go with the originally-planned rotation with Homer (Bailey) throwing the first game against the Pirates.”

The Reds start a four-game series in Pittsburgh on Thursday.
