Nick Lodolo - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

MRI shows tibia stress reaction An MRI on Lodolo's left leg revealed a stress reaction in his tibia, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lodolo is in a walking boot and will be re-evaluated with another MRI in two weeks. The left-hander has been dealing with a nagging issue with his leg since spring training and finally went on the injured list over the weekend. It's now looking like it will be a lengthy absence.

Reds put LHP Nick Lodolo (calf) on 15-day IL The Cincinnati Reds put left-hander Nick Lodolo, who has left calf tendinosis, on the 15-day injured list on Sunday

MAY 14, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Heads to 15-day injured list Cincinnati placed Lodolo on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left calf tendinosis, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lodolo was scratched from his start Saturday due to trouble with his left calf, and an examination back in Cincinnati revealed the tendinosis. He'll miss at least two weeks while recovering with a chance for the southpaw to return to the Reds' rotation near the start of June if everything goes well in recovery.

Scratched from Saturday's start Lodolo has been scratched from his scheduled start Saturday in Miami and will return to Cincinnati to receive further evaluation of his lingering ankle/calf injury, Jim Day of Ball...

Impact According to Day, Lodolo's injury has bothered him off and on since spring training and initially resulted in the Reds pushing his start back from Thursday to Saturday. With Lodolo continuing to experience discomfort despite getting an extra two days of rest, he'll now get a checkup as the Reds look to glean more information on the extent of the injury. Levi Stoudt was scratched from his scheduled start at Triple-A Louisville on Friday and is en route to Miami, so he would presumably be in line to make a spot start in place of Lodolo on Saturday if he arrives at the ballpark with enough time to warm up prior to the game's 1:10 p.m. ET start time.

MAY 13, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Confirmed to start Saturday Lodolo (calf) is listed as the Reds' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Lodolo had been in line to start Thursday's series finale with the Mets at Great American Ball Park, but he'll instead make his next turn through the rotation in Miami after the Reds opted to push him back two days in the pitching schedule while he managed a sore left calf. Provided Lodolo doesn't have any setbacks while he likely throws a bullpen session Thursday, he shouldn't face any restrictions Saturday as he prepares for his eighth start of the 2023 campaign.

Next start pushed back Lodolo's next start has been pushed back from Thursday to Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lodolo will get a couple extra days of rest after struggling in his last turn through the Reds' rotation Saturday against the White Sox. He's now set to face the Marlins instead of the Mets with this alteration.

The Enquirer Nick Lodolo has a 10.38 ERA over his last four starts, and he's not getting as many strikeouts.

MAY 8, 2023 • CINCINNATI.COM

Gets pulled early Lodolo did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 3.2 innings against the White Sox. He struck out three.

Impact Lodolo was unable to make it through the fourth inning Saturday, marking his shortest outing of the season. Once again, he was plagued by the long ball, giving up solo homers to Hanser Alberto and Seby Zavala prior to exiting. Lodolo has now given up multiple home runs in four straight starts while only pitching more than five frames once in seven appearances. Though Lodolo has shown excellent strikeout stuff (12.32 K/9), his fantasy value is capped by his pitiful 2.64 HR/9 and 6.29 ERA.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out seven Lodolo allowed three runs on five hits over five-plus innings during Sunday's loss to Oakland. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Lodolo was in line for his third win before the Reds' bullpen coughed up the lead. It was his first start of the year without issuing a walk and he improved his season K:BB to 44:9 through 30.2 frames. Lodolo was once again cursed by the long ball Sunday; the three runs against him came on two homers, including Jesus Aguilar's two-run shot in the first inning. Lodolo didn't allow a home run in his first two starts but has been taken deep eight times in his last four outings.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out six in no-decision Lodolo did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks over four innings in a 7-6 victory over Texas. He struck out six.

Impact After being spotted a one-run lead in the first inning, Lodolo was tagged for three runs in the second, two runs in the third and one run in the fourth, but he was let off the hook for the loss after the Reds made a late-inning comeback. The left-hander has allowed six-plus runs in back-to-back starts, but he still has a strong 37:9 K:BB through 25.2 innings.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in loss Lodolo (2-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and one walk over 4.2 innings in a 10-0 loss to the Rays. He struck out four.

Impact Lodolo had no answer for the Rays' on Tuesday, allowing 12 hits, including three home runs, en route to his first loss of the season. The young left-hander's ERA balloons from 2.12 to 4.98 after the rough outing. Lodolo has a 31:7 K:BB and 1.71 WHIP through 21.2 innings this season. He's currently lined up to make his next start at home against Texas, where he'll look to get back on track.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures second win of season Lodolo (2-0) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings in a 6-2 win over the Phillies. He struck out six.

Impact Lodolo has now allowed just four earned runs in 17 innings this season, good for a 2.12 ERA. While that figure will likely increase as the season goes on, the former first-round draft pick has lived up to the billing so far. Next up is a home tilt against the undefeated Rays on Tuesday.

Punches out career-high 12 Lodolo did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against the Phillies. He struck out 12.

Impact The bullpen squandered the lead in the ninth, but Lodolo was at his most dominant yet as a big leaguer. He set the tone early, striking out the side in the first inning, and finished with 20 called strikes and 15 swinging strikes on 106 total pitches. Lodolo talked after his first start about how his changeup was coming along, and it's looking like a real weapon for him to complement his fastball and stellar curveball. The lefty has a 1.50 ERA and 21:4 K:BB through two starts (12 innings).

Fans nine in win Lodolo (1-0) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out nine.

Impact The lefty had trouble putting hitters away in the first inning, needing 35 pitches to get through the frame. Lodolo settled in from there and racked up an impressive 22 swinging strikes on 109 total pitches. He threw his changeup more and noted after the game that he had been working on the change and felt he found the pitch late in spring training. If the changeup comes along, Lodolo could break out. He is already looking like a big part of the Reds' future.

To serve as No. 2 starter Reds manager David Bell said Thursday that Lodolo will start the second game of the 2023 regular season, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact No surprise here after Hunter Greene was named the team's Opening Day starter on Thursday afternoon. Lodolo and Greene will aim to form an exciting one-two punch for the up-and-coming rotation in Cincinnati, with Graham Ashcraft possibly adding a third jab to the equation. Lodolo, 25, recorded a 3.66 ERA with a 131 strikeouts across his first 103.1 big-league innings in 2022.

Impact Lodolo came into the outing wanting to work on his changeup, but at times his competitive juices took over and he didn't remember until the second inning to work on that pitch. You can expect to hear similar reports about other pitchers, especially at the beginning of spring training.
