Nick Lodolo - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

No limits in return Lodolo (finger) expects no limitations when he makes his season debut Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lodolo, who has been rehabbing from a blister on his left index finger, met with team officials following Saturday's rehab start for Triple-A Louisville and is expected to be activated off the 15-day injured list to start against the Astros. The left-hander threw 79 pitches in the rehab outing, including "16 or 17" sliders, which is the pitch that originally caused the blister.

Poised to come off IL on Friday Lodolo (finger) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's home game against the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lodolo -- who has been on the shelf all season due to a blister on his left index finger -- made the third and final start of his rehab assignment Saturday, striking out six batters and allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville. The left-hander built up to 79 pitches in the outing, so he should be ready to handle a fairly normal workload next weekend in what would be his 2026 debut for the Reds. Before the Reds lock Lodolo into their upcoming pitching schedule, he'll likely need to complete a bullpen session Monday or Tuesday without incident.

Taking rehab to Triple-A The Reds transferred Lodolo's (finger) rehab assignment to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Impact Lodolo looked sharp in his rehab outing with High-A Dayton this past Sunday, when he allowed two hits and zero walks while striking out seven across five innings. He's been cleared to move his rehab assignment to Triple-A, and he may need just one outing with Louisville before being cleared to return to the big club. Lodolo is in the final stages of his recovery from a blister on his left index finger that landed him on the 15-day injured list prior to the start of the regular season.

Another rehab start Saturday Lodolo (finger) will make his next rehab start Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Lodolo fanned seven over five scoreless frames with High-A Dayton on Sunday in his first rehab outing. He threw about 10 breaking balls in that start, and it's likely he'll attempt to incorporate more Saturday as he works his way back from a blister on his left index finger. There's a chance Lodolo returns to the Reds next week after Saturday's outing, but it's also possible the club asks him to make an additional rehab start.

Fires five scoreless in rehab start Lodolo (finger) allowed two hits and struck out seven over five scoreless innings for High-A Dayton on Sunday.

Impact Lodolo, who's been on the 15-day injured list since Opening Day due to a blister, kicked off a second rehab assignment Sunday. The left-hander was sharp, throwing 39 strikes among his 51 pitches. His first rehab was cut short when the blister resurfaced as he tried to throw a slider during a start for Dayton on April 2, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. There was no data or reporting on how many sliders Lodolo used Sunday.

Nears rehab assignment Lodolo (finger) threw 50 pitches over three innings in a simulated game Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact This was the latest successful step for Lodolo, who had a promising two-inning sim game last week as part of his return from a blister on his left index finger. The left-hander was able to test the skin on his finger by throwing sliders -- the pitch that caused the blister during spring training -- in the bullpen but did not throw it when facing batters. The next step for Lodolo is a rehab assignment that's expected to begin with High-A Dayton on Sunday, when he'll further test the slider and is scheduled for four innings.

Could face hitters Friday Reds manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Lodolo (finger) could face hitters Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Lodolo has thrown a couple bullpen sessions since he had to be pulled off his rehab assignment following a setback with the blister on his left index finger. He has not thrown breaking balls during those sessions, however, and re-incorporating those pitches will be a big test for his blister. If Lodolo does face hitters Friday and gets through it with no problems, he could be cleared to resume a rehab assignment.

Throws bullpen session Lodolo (blister) threw a 10-pitch bullpen session Thursday at less-than full intensity, MLB.com reports.

Impact It will be his first time throwing off the mound since he exited a rehab start a week ago when he had a setback with the blister on his left index finger. Reds manager Terry Francona said that how aggressive Lodolo will be with his throwing during the bullpen session will depend on how he feels. If Lodolo is able to complete his mound work without any issues, more clarity should be available regarding a rehab start and return to the Reds' rotation.

Impact This is not the first time that Lodolo has dealt with the blister issue, and yet one of the problems for him is the lack of a blister specialist to help him out. "Everyone's skin is different," Lodolo said. "How it feels, how you throw the ball, how it comes off of your finger, the pressure. A lot of guys are more middle finger on the ball. I'm more index finger heavy. It's about figuring out how we can manage it. I threw a good amount last year, and it only happened once."

Exits rehab start early Lodolo (blister) exited his minor-league rehab start with Single-A Daytona in the third inning, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lodolo was looking to move past the blister on his left index finger by making one start with Single-A Daytona, but the blister reared its ugly head with two outs in the top of the third, forcing the southpaw out of the contest. The hope was that the 28-year-old would be able to return to the Reds in the coming days, but that now appears to be unlikely. Lodolo retired all eight batters he faced in order Thursday, striking out four in the process, and he finished having thrown just 40 pitches when he was scheduled to throw between 60 and 65.
