Allows three homers in return Lodolo did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox, allowing four runs on five hits and no walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

Impact Lodolo allowed solo homers in the first, second and fourth innings, departing with a four-run deficit in his first start since July 11. On the bright side, he threw a solid 46 of 70 pitches for strikes and generated 13 whiffs, including eight on his signature curveball. The 28-year-old will take a 4.86 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 55:27 K across 66.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Miami this weekend.

Activated from IL, starting Tuesday Cincinnati reinstated Lodolo (finger) from the 15-day injured list, and will start Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox.

Impact Lodolo will return from the IL after being sidelined for just under a month of action. The southpaw needed just one rehab start with Triple-A Louisville, recording 4.1 innings of work, before rejoining the big-league club. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3-2 record, 4.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB through 62.2 innings. The Reds optioned Zach McCambley to Louisville before Tuesday's affair in Chicago.

Impact It will be Lodolo's first outing in the majors since he landed on the 15-day injured list just before the All-Star break with a recurring blister issue on his left index finger. Since that IL move, Lodolo has been using a modified grip for his curveball as he aims to put his blister problems behind him. In his lone rehab start, the southpaw allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. He threw 65 pitches in the outing, so Lodolo won't be fully stretched out when he faces the Pale Hose.

Logs 4.1 innings in rehab start Lodolo (blister) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Lodolo threw 65 pitches (37 strikes), which was right around the projected range for the left-hander. Depending on how feels following the outing, he could return to the big leagues, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. Reds manager Terry Francona said Lodolo "looked OK" and was hitting 94 to 95 mph. What many observers were interested in was his curveball, which has been the source of recurring blisters throughout Lodolo's career. He tested a modified grip successfully last week and threw 15 curves Wednesday for seven strikes, two swings and one whiff.

Rehab start set Lodolo (finger) is scheduled to throw 60-to-65 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact The left-hander threw 50 pitches during live batting practice Friday and will now shift his rehab to a game setting. Lodolo is utilizing a new grip on his breaking ball in an attempt to prevent the recurring blister issues on his left index finger. It's possible he only needs one start in the minors before coming off the injured list, which would allow him to re-enter Cincinnati's rotation as early as Aug. 11 against the White Sox.

Throws 50 pitches Friday Lodolo (blister) threw 50 pitches over three simulated innings of live batting practice Friday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Lodolo, who is returning from a recurring blister, felt good about the new grip he's using on his breaking ball. The left-hander may need a rehab start before returning to the Reds' rotation; however, the club hasn't confirmed plans.

Facing hitters Friday Lodolo (finger) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lodolo is expected to throw roughly two or three innings during Friday's session, marking his first time facing live hitters since landing on the injured list July 12 with a finger blister. Lodolo has been experimenting with a new grip for his breaking ball in an effort to minimize the risk of future blister issues, and he hasn't had any issues up to this point. He could require a rehab start in the minors before rejoining Cincinnati's rotation, though the Reds haven't confirmed any plans beyond Friday just yet.

Completes another side session Lodolo (finger) threw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Lodolo, who is on the mend from a blister on his left index finger, has now completed two side sessions since landing on the injured list July 12. In an effort to combat further recurrences of blisters, Lodolo has been testing out a new grip for his breaking pitches, and he's thus far experienced no issues since he resumed throwing. Lodolo will likely need to face hitters and potentially make a rehab start before returning from the IL.

Shelved with another blister issue The Reds placed Lodolo (finger) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Lodolo developed a blister on his left index finger during his start in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs and will hit the shelf for the second time in 2026. The southpaw had previously opened the season on the IL due to the same issue, missing six weeks before debuting May 8. He'll be eligible for activation July 27, but given the extended time off he required the first time around, Lodolo is far from a safe bet to return in the minimum amount of time.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Likely bound for IL Lodolo (finger) will likely require a stint on the injured list, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lodolo was pulled in the sixth inning of Saturday's game against the Cubs due to a blister on his left finger. The hurler said the blister became an issue during that sixth frame, and manager Terry Francona suggested that the injury will likely result in a stay on the injured list. Should that indeed be the case, Lodolo would need to miss at least his next two scheduled starts.
