In Garrett's previous outing, Saturday against Cleveland, he allowed back-to-back singles before Josh Naylor lined into a triple play.
"Tough times don’t last, but tough people do," Garrett tweeted Tuesday night. "Y’all may think I’m crazy, but I asked God to put obstacles in my way so I can overcome them, to make me a stronger person overall. Well, here we are."
Garrett has the fewest innings and appearances among Reds relievers.
"It’s just something that he’s going to have to pitch through," Bell said. "I think the more work we can get him, the better right now."
RAIN DELAY REDUX
It started to rain steadily in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday, and then it turned into sheets of rain when Lucas Sims was locked into an at-bat with Carson Kelly with one out and the bases loaded in the eighth inning.
"During that at-bat, it just got worse and worse at a really fast rate," Bell said. "There was a pitch before the at-bat ended where I almost ran out there and just asked if we could stop the game and I didn't do that.
"Obviously, I wish I would have done that."
Sims issued a bases-loaded walk to Kelly, which gave the Diamondbacks a 5-4 lead before the game was suspended. It was just the fourth time in Great American Ball Park history that a game was suspended and picked up on the following day.
The Reds were frustrated that they were still on the field after the walk. Sims tossed aside baseballs that were offered to him from home-plate umpire Jansen Visconti. Catcher Tucker Barnhart voiced his displeasure to crew chief Jerry Meals, who was the second-base umpire.
"What people don’t really realize, if you weren’t on the field, it wasn’t rain," said pitcher Jeff Hoffman, who was watching from the dugout. "It was hailing. There was solid particles coming down, and it just wasn’t smart for anybody to be out there. I’m glad that they stopped it when they did."
Bell didn't blame the umpires.
"I don’t think for a second that the umpires were intentionally putting our players in danger or anything like that," Bell said. "They’re using their best judgment, so I can only think about what I did and what our team did. Our players were trying to play through it. I give them credit for that. If anything, I wish I would have ran out there a pitch or two before the at-bat ended."
ART WARREN GETS PROMOTED
The Reds called up right-handed reliever Art Warren for their second game Wednesday, which was set to follow the completion of their suspended game.
Warren, a Napoleon, Ohio native, pitched for the University of Cincinnati in 2012-13 before transferring to Ashland University. If he pitched in Wednesday's game, he'd become the first UC player to appear in a game for the Reds since infielder Skeeter Barnes.
Warren will return to the alternate site following Wednesday night's game.
CAM BEDROSIAN ELECTS FREE AGENCY
Cam Bedrosian elected to become a free agent Wednesday after he was outrighted off the Reds' 40-man roster on Monday.
Bedrosian rejected the Reds' outright assignment to their alternate site to become a free agent. Players with more than three years of service time in the big leagues are eligible to elect free agency and decline an outright assignment.
"I think he still has a chance to come back," Bell said, "but this would give him an opportunity to explore what’s out there."
