1 year agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft (toe) is to be scheduled for his first Cactus League start "within the next week," according to manager David Bell. Meanwhile, left-hander Nick Lodolo's (leg) spring training debut would be a bit behind Ashcraft's. The 26-year-old Ashcraft is returning from surgery on his right big toe last September and is being slow-played in spring training. He has already faced hitters in camp, though, and barring a setback with his toe once he starts pitching in Cactus League games, he should open the 2024 season in the Reds' starting rotation. However, his lack of strikeout upside is a hindrance to his fantasy relevance in mixed leagues. Lodolo, who made only seven starts in 2023 due to a stress reaction in his tibia, has much more fantasy appeal for his high-strikeout upside, but he's also more of an injury risk.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

6 months agoCincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo (finger) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024 season. The left-hander landed on the 15-day injured list in late August due to a finger strain. The organization was hopeful it would be a short absence, but that clearly wasn't the case. The Reds are out of the playoff race and have little incentive to bring Lodolo back at this point. He'll finish the season with a 4.76 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 122/37 K/BB ratio across 21 starts. This was a fairly successful season for the southpaw who was limited to only seven starts in the big leagues in 2023.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

7 months agoCincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (finger), who was placed on the injured list on Aug. 27 with a left middle finger sprain, plans to meet the tam in Minnesota on Friday after feeling a big improvement in his finger on Sept. 11. If Lodolo can bend his finger "all the way," then he is going to start throwing, according to manager David Bell. Lodolo has had an injury-plagued season in 2024, heading to the IL four different times with four different injuries. The strikeout upside 26-year-old southpaw remains intriguing, but he's developed a reputation for being injury-prone now. It's good news that Lodolo could start throwing again soon, but he's not going to return again in 2024 to help fantasy managers. The former seventh overall pick in 2019 out of TCU was inconsistent in his 21 starts this year, posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, although he did strike out 122 in 115 1/3 innings.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoCincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (finger) will have his injured finger in a splint until Sept. 9. Lodolo is on the 15-day injured list yet again, this time with a sprained left middle finger. There's no exact timetable for his return, and the Reds haven't officially ruled him out for the rest of the 2024 season, but with time quickly running out, we'd be surprised if Lodolo took the mound for the Reds again this year, especially with Cincinnati out of playoff contention. Fantasy managers in need of pitching that are still in contention for a title should probably move on from Lodolo instead of waiting around. The 26-year-old southpaw is quickly developing a reputation for being injury-prone, although his high-strikeout upside remains intriguing for fantasy managers down the road. In a career-high 21 starts in 2024, he's gone 9-6 with a 4.76 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 122 K's over 115 1/3 frames.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoCincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (finger) is on the 15-day injured list for the fourth different time this year and could end up missing the rest of the season due to a sprained left middle finger on his left pitching hand. Lodolo is expected to be in a splint for two weeks. "It's not concerning for the long term, but it's a rare injury that could keep him out for the year," manager David Bell said. "That's the bottom line." With Hunter Greene (elbow) and Andrew Abbott (shoulder) also on the IL, the Reds are bringing up No. 2 prospect Rhett Lowder to make his MLB debut this Friday. Lodolo has struggled since returning from a blister on his finger, posting a 7.54 ERA in nine starts, with the biggest issue for coming when he tries to use his curveball. With Lodolo looking unlikely now to return in 2024, fantasy managers in redraft leagues could drop him for other options heading into the final month.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
