Cincinnati expects to have right-handed starter Mat Latos, closer Aroldis Chapman and catcher Devin Mesoraco back from injuries by then. Latos and Chapman have missed the entire season because of injuries sustained during spring training.

Mesoraco returned from an injury and pulled a hamstring, landing him back on the disabled list.
