Nick Lodolo Scratched, Derek Law To Start Saturday
2 years agoCincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (calf) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Miami Marlins and has returned to Cincinnati for examination of his sore left calf. In his place, right-hander Derek Law will get the start as the opener. The 25-year-old Lodolo has dealt with a calf issue since spring training, so the Reds want to get this figured out before they go any further. There's a good chance he'll need to go on the injured list, so fantasy managers should be prepared. If Lodolo has to miss extended time, Levi Stoudt figures to be a favorite to take his place in the Reds' rotation in the short term. Lodolo has struggled so far in his second MLB season, posting a 6.29 ERA (5.83 FIP), 1.75 WHIP, 10 walks and 47 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings over his seven starts.
