He did make a start or two after they sent him down. It was then he said that the groin was still botherhing him and that he was "starting to feel it in my shoulder" so they decided to shut him down at that point. My guess is that Homer didn't think the groin issue was bad and that he could pitch through it. I think the Reds assumed he would be back ASAP from AAA, but the groin issue fouled it up. Anyways, worked out best for the Reds because now there is no concern of him being a "Super 2" and hopefully he'll get a little more work on his control before coming back up.
