Rhett Lowder - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Showed promise in AFL Lowder's velocity returned to the 93-95 mph range during short outings in the Arizona Fall League last year, Keith Law of The Athletic reports.

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. In addition to a velocity bounce-back, the right-hander showed a plus changeup and a sharper slider that missed bats. Lowder enters spring training healthy and will compete for a spot in the rotation.

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.

Next rehab outing scheduled Lowder (oblique) will next make a rehab start Friday for Triple-A Louisville, MLB.com reports.

Impact Lowder began a rehab assignment Saturday, when he threw 34 pitches over two innings. Reds manager Terry Francona isn't ready to commit to having Lawlar ready to help the team in its pursuit of a playoff spot or during the postseason should Cincinnati qualify, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, but nothing has been ruled out. "I think the best way we can look at it is trying to get him ready to pitch," Francona said Sunday.

Works two innings in rehab game Lowder (oblique) allowed one run on two hits and struck out two over two innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday. He also hit a batter.

Impact Lowder began a rehab assignment with the Bats, who have enough games left in the regular season for the right-hander to get in another start. Beyond that, Lowder will pitch in the Arizona Fall League and have what the Reds described earlier as a normal offseason of preparation for 2026.

Beginning assignment Saturday Lowder (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Impact Lowder has sat out the entire season while working his way back from injuries to his forearm and, more recently, his oblique. The Reds haven't ruled out a late-season return for the 23-year-old righty, though he would need a relatively quick rehab assignment to have time to make an appearance for the Reds before the end of the season.
