Rhett Lowder - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes case for rotation Lowder allowed one walk and struck out three over three hitless and scoreless innings in Friday's spring start against the Angels.

Impact Lowder was on point with all of his pitches, dispatching nine of 10 batters faced on 30 offerings (21 strikes). He was so efficient that the right-hander retired to the bullpen to throw another 10 pitches. This was Lowder's first Cactus League start and second spring outing. The ability throw all his pitches for strikes should serve him well in the competition for the final spot in Cincinnati's rotation.

Impact Lowder missed all of the 2025 season with an elbow injury, which he rehabbed before a strained oblique muscle kept him off the mound until the AFL.

Receives clean bill of health Lowder (oblique/forearm) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Impact Lowder made it through a brief scare in his rehab as it was taking him a bit longer than expected to recover between outings, but MRI results returned negative and he's since been activated. He worked only two innings during his last rehab appearance Sept. 13 against Triple-A Toledo, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Reds roll him out for a relief appearance or two during the final week of the regular season.

MRI on shoulder is negative Lowder (oblique/forearm) recently underwent an MRI on his right shoulder that came back negative, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Reds manager Terry Francona noted that Lowder -- who hasn't pitched since Sept. 13 -- was having trouble recovering in between appearances. While imaging came back clean, Lowder's rehab will be slowed, which effectively ends his season. He's been limited to just five rehab appearances this season due to forearm, oblique and now shoulder issues.
