San Diego Padres starting pitcher Mat Latos will be activated from the 15-day disabled list and make his 2011 debut on Monday at home versus the Cincinnati Reds, MLB.com’s Corey Brock reports.

“It’s time to get him back on the horse,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “He feels ready. … I think he’s excited for his first start of the year.”

Latos was placed on the disabled list on March 22 after suffering from a sore shoulder a few days after a Cactus League star.

Everything just feels right,” Latos said earlier this week.

The 23-year-old right-hander recently threw 70 pitches in a Minor League simulated game on Monday in Arizona, but he will not be on a pitch count when he faces the Reds next week.
