Josh Reddick feels 'great' after taking batting practice
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick "felt great" after taking more than 20 swings in batting practice Friday, MLB.com reports.

"No issues," Reddick told MLB.com. "I don't feel anything. I was happy with the results. Biggest thing for me was if I could pull the ball. It's one thing I really wanted to test out because I wasn't able to do it before. It felt great. Didn't feel anything and still driving the ball that way."

Reddick is unsure how long of a rehab assignment he'll need.

"We don't have a number yet," Reddick told MLB.com. "Talked with [manager Bob Melvin] today. He said he wants to make sure I get as comfortable as possible, whether it takes five at-bats or 15 or 20 at-bats."

Reddick has hit .152/.266/.250 with a home run in 92 at-bats this season.
