Set for bullpen role Lodolo will be available out of the bullpen during the National League Wild Card Series against the Dodgers, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact This news comes after the club announced Zack Littell will start Game 2, and Andrew Abbott would be deployed for a Game 3 start if necessary. Lodolo's lone relief appearance took place in the final game of the regular season Sunday against Milwaukee, when he allowed one run on two hits and two walks over one inning.

Reds crash into postseason, set to face Dodgers in NL Wild Card Series

Makes relief appearance Sunday Lodolo (groin) surrendered one earned run on two hits and two walks over one inning of relief in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers.

Impact After exiting his start in Thursday's win over the Pirates due to a right groin injury, Lodolo received a clean bill of health following a bullpen session earlier Sunday, then was called upon to pitch in relief in a must-win game. Though the Reds ultimately came up short, they backdoored their way into the playoffs after the Mets lost to the Marlins later Sunday to cede the third and final wild-card spot to Cincinnati. Now that Lodolo has seemingly put the groin issue behind him, he could be in line to make a start during the Reds' three-game wild-card series versus the Dodgers that begins Tuesday.

Cleared to throw bullpen Lodolo (groin) will throw his regularly scheduled bullpen this weekend and will not require any further evaluation, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Lodolo was lifted from Thursday's start against the Pirates with a minor groin injury, but he's a full-go for his regularly scheduled bullpen and isn't concerned about the injury. If the Reds obtain postseason eligibility, Lodolo would likely be ready to make a start next week.

Nursing minor groin injury Lodolo was pulled from Thursday's start versus the Pirates in the seventh inning due to a right groin injury.

Impact The Reds are calling the exit precautionary, suggesting Lodolo would have a chance to be ready for a postseason start next week, should his team qualify. If it was the lefty's final start of the season, he went out on a high not, fanning 12 batters while permitting only two hits and one walk over 6.1 scoreless innings. The stellar performance lowered Lodolo's season ERA to 3.30.

Departs start with apparent injury Lodolo was removed from Thursday's start against the Pirates in the seventh inning with an apparent injury, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Lodolo was visited by the trainer after striking out Andrew McCutchen to lead off the top of the seventh inning and eventually walked off the field. It's unclear what happened, but blisters have been an issue for Lodolo in the past, so it's possible another one popped up. The Reds should have more on his condition shortly. Lodolo was dominant before being removed, striking out 12 while yielding just two hits and one walk over 6.1 scoreless frames.

Fans seven in no-decision Lodolo came away with a no-decision in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The southpaw was hurt by the long ball again, serving up homers to Dansby Swanson in the second inning and Matt Shaw in the fourth, but the Reds clubbed five homers of their own on the night. Lodolo hasn't won a game since returning from a blister issue in late August, failing to last longer than 5.1 innings in four straight starts, and over that stretch he's stumbled to a 5.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 19.2 innings. He'll try to finish his 2025 on a high note next week, when he lines up for a home outing against the Pirates.
