GOODYEAR, Ariz. —
Manager Dusty Baker announced the decision today.
Lincoln hasn't started a game since 2001, when he was in Class AAA in the Pittsburgh system, but the team approached him this offseason about moving back into a starter's role.
Lincoln is part of a large group of pitchers trying to make the Reds rotation as the fifth starter. The first four spots are locked up by Aaron Harang, Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey.
Baker says he wants to get pitchers in competition for the fifth spot to throw in exhibition games early in the spring and try to decide that spot sooner rather than later.
