Solano (hamstring) took a few swings Friday during Mike Minor's simulated game, not content to just track pitches, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "I feel better every single day," Solano said. "I try to push myself every single day to get better and better. I don't know how much more time I need, but I think we're moving at a good pace."

Solano elaborated that his leg isn't yet 100 percent when swinging, and that he feels it when "I touch the ground and turn." He's also not yet running, so a rehab assignment isn't yet in the offing.
