Cozart's Bat Crucial to Rebuilding Reds

Prior to the injury, Cozart had recorded a hit in each game he played in this year. 

Heading into Friday, the rebuilding Reds are 5-4. Getting Cozart's bat back in the lineup may help the team maintain an unexpectedly decent start to the season. Batting .412 heading into the contest, Cozart will look to ensure the minor time away from the field won't derail his hot streak.
