The 38-yea-old outfielder played in 54 of Cincinnati's first 57 games, but he sat out of the first game of a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night because of general soreness.
Reds manager Dusty Baker said Griffey could be back in the lineup Wednesday night and was available to pinch hit on Tuesday.
The only other players to hit 600 homers are Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Sammy Sosa.
Griffey hit homer No. 599 against Atlanta on Saturday, but missed a chance to reach the milestone in front of his hometown fans.
