Nick Lodolo - Page 21 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Completes extended 'pen session Lodolo (back) threw approximately 30-to-35 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The rookie southpaw plans to throw off a mound again Saturday as he builds up following a lengthy shutdown due to a lower-back strain. Because he hasn't pitched in a game since April 24, Lodolo could need at least two minor-league rehab starts before the Reds are comfortable reintegrating him into the big-league rotation.

Bullpen session coming up Manager David Bell said Sunday that Lodolo (back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session in a few days, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Though Lodolo still looks to be multiple weeks away from coming off the 10-day injured list, his advancement to mound work represents a step forward in his recovery from a lower-back strain. Before landing on the shelf April 28, Lodolo posted a 5.52 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB in 14.2 innings over his first three MLB starts.

Throwing again, not close to return Manager David Bell said Sunday that Lodolo (back) has been cleared to restart throwing program but won't be ready to rejoin the rotation in the near future, Charlie Goldsmith of Th...

Impact On a positive note, Lodolo appears to be progressing in his recovery from a back strain after the Reds paused his throwing program for the past week, but the team is likely to have the rookie left-hander ramp up slowly from the injury. Since he hasn't pitched in a game since April 24, Lodolo will almost certainly require a minor-league rehab assignment consisting of at least one or two starts once he completes his build-up program, so he might realistically be three or more weeks away from making his next appearance for the Reds. The murky recovery timeline may make it tough to justify holding Lodolo in most leagues, even though he delivered a two straight promising starts before the injury cropped up.

Pausing throwing program Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Lodolo (back) won't throw for at least the next week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lodolo had previously been expected to return from the injured list back on May 7, but those plans wound up being scrapped after he continued to feel sore. He played catch late last week, but that evidently didn't go well, either, so he'll rest for a week before the Reds determine a new timeline for his recovery. He'll need to build back up after that shutdown period, so he won't be in contention to return as soon as that week is over.

Playing catch Thursday Lodolo (back) was playing catch ahead of Thursday's game at Pittsburgh, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lodolo was expected to be activated from the injured list and rejoin the rotation last weekend, but his return ended up being pushed back. It's unclear where exactly the 24-year-old currently stands in his recovery, but it's still good news to at least see him playing catch. Lodolo doesn't have an official timeline for his return.

Nick Lodolo's next start for the Cincinnati Reds is pushed back due to injury Nick Lodolo was initially slated to start for the Reds on Saturday, but he's continuing to deal with a back injury.

No timetable for return Lodolo (back) was examined Friday night and it was determined he wasn't ready to rejoin the rotation, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact According to manager David Bell, there is no timetable for his return. Back issues can be tricky, especially with tall pitchers like Lodolo, who is 6-foot-6. He was originally going to get a great matchup this weekend against the Pirates, but now it's unclear when he will be ready to rejoin the rotation. We should get a clearer idea whenever he resumes a throwing program.

Impact This is a tough break for those who started Lodolo this week in hopes of taking advantage of a good matchup against the Pirates. It's unclear if he will join the rotation next week at home against the Brewers. Tyler Mahle will start Sunday.

On track to start Saturday Lodolo (back) is penciled in to return from the 10-day injured list to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enqu...

Impact Lodolo has been on the IL for the past week due to a lower-back strain, but he should be able to return to action following a near-minimum-length absence. It's possible the Reds will monitor his workload Saturday, but he's been able to keep throwing since landing on the IL. In his first three major-league starts, the southpaw posted a 5.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 14.2 innings.

Brief absence expected Lodolo (back) is expected to return next weekend against the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lodolo hit the injured list Thursday with a lower-back strain, but it looks as though he's on track to miss just one start. He'll be eligible to return next Thursday and should be back shortly after that date.

Reds place rookie Lodolo on injured list; Moustakas returns The Reds on Thursday placed rookie starter Nick Lodolo on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Monday) with a lower right back strain.

Shelved with back strain The Reds placed Lodolo on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a lower-back strain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so he'll be eligible to return from the IL as soon as May 5 if he makes a swift recovery from the back issue. Though the Reds haven't indicated the injury is a long-term concern, it's nonetheless a disappointing development for the rookie lefty, who rebounded from a rough MLB debut April 13 against the Guardians by submitting a 3.37 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB in 10.2 innings between his last two starts.

Earns first MLB win Lodolo (1-2) allowed one run on five hits over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out seven and picking up a win over the Cardinals.

Impact Lodolo dominated the Cardinals through five shutout frames; he allowed just three hits and only one went for extra bases. He finally coughed up a run in the sixth after back-to-back doubles by Paul Goldschmidt and Tyler O'Neill. The 6-foot-6 southpaw has shown steady improvement over his three MLB starts and he now owns a 5.52 ERA across 14.2 innings. Lodolo is expected to take the mound in Colorado next week.

Shows improvement in second start Lodolo (0-2) took the loss against San Diego on Monday, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight.

Impact Lodolo has lost each of his first two big-league starts, but he showed some improvement in his second appearance Monday. The left-hander went one inning deeper and exited having given up fewer hits, runs and walks while doubling his strikeout total from four to eight in comparison to his big-league debut. Lodolo also threw 18 first-pitch strikes (to 23 batters) and registered 16 swings-and-misses Monday. He'll try to grab his elusive first win in his next start, which is tentatively slated to come at home against St. Louis on Sunday.

MLB odds: Seiya Suzuki, Oneil Cruz and Bobby Witt Jr. lead ROY futures

Struggles in MLB debut Lodolo (0-1) pitched four innings, surrendering five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four in a loss versus the Guardians on Wednesday.

Impact The 24-year-old struggled in his major-league debut, allowing 10 batters to reach base in four innings on the mound. Lodolo unraveled in the second inning, walking three batters while hitting two others, ultimately giving up two runs in the inning without allowing a hit. He later gave up homers to Owen Miller and Jose Ramirez, the later of which was a two-run shot. Lodolo's claim to fame in the minor-leagues was his ability to strike out 38.8 percent of the batters he faced in 2021, but he only struck out four of the 24 batters he faced Wednesday. The rookie's next shot on the mound is expected to come Monday on the road against the Padres.

Called up from minors The Reds officially selected Lodolo's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Cincinnati already confirmed a day ago that Lodolo would pick up the start in Wednesday's series finale with the Guardians, but the team didn't formally activate him until the day of the game. Riley O'Brien was designated for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster for Lodolo, who should be guaranteed a rotation spot until at least one of Luis Castillo (shoulder) or Mike Minor (shoulder) return from the injured list. After a brilliant 2021 campaign between Double-A Chattanooga and Louisville in which Lodolo compiled a 2.31 ERA and 0.97 WHIP while striking out 38.8 percent of the batters he faced across 50.2 innings, it's not out of the question for the young lefty to perform well enough to permanently stay with the big club even after both Castillo and Minor return.
