Nick Lodolo News
Cincinnati Reds general manager Nick Krall said that starting pitchers Nick Lodolo (leg) and Graham Ashcraft (toe) are on track to be ready for spring training next year. Lodolo did not require surgery for an injured left tibia that limited him to only seven starts in his second big-league season in 2023. The young left-hander also dealt with a calf injury. Despite the injuries and basically a lost season, the 25-year-old southpaw has a lot of strikeout upside and will have a locked in spot in Cincy's starting rotation in 2024 as long as he's healthy. Lodolo had an ERA over 6.00 in his seven starts this year, but he posted a 3.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 131 K's in 103 1/3 innings in his rookie season in 2022. Ashcraft had surgery in September to fix a stress reaction in his big right toe. The 25-year-old righty went 7-9 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 26 starts in his second major-league campaign in 2023.
Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (leg) will not make it back this year after suffering a setback with his left-tibia stress reaction. Lodolo had a setback with his left leg during a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Louisville last week, which sealed his fate. He'll finish his second major-league season with a 2-1 record, 6.29 ERA (5.80 FIP), 1.75 WHIP, 10 walks and 47 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings pitched over his seven starts. Through two seasons for the Reds to this point, the 25-year-old southpaw has a 4.31 ERA (4.37 FIP), 1.37 WHIP and 178 K's in 137 2/3 innings over 26 starts. Lodolo is still young and has plenty of strikeout upside, so he'll be a nice value selection late in fantasy drafts in 2024.
Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo (leg) completed his second rehab game on Sunday, but an MRI after the contest revealed he suffered a stress reaction in his left tibia, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. The hope was for the 25-year-old to return at some point in late August, but that seems very unlikely now. Lodolo hasn't pitched in the big leagues since May 6 after a leg issue forced him to the injured list. Prior to the injury, he posted a 6.29 ERA and 1.75 WHIP but struck out 47 over 34 1/3 innings. Fantasy owners may have to wait until 2024 to see Lodolo back on the mound, but he should continue missing a ton of bats when he's finally in action again.

After the All-Star break in 2022, Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo pushed himself into a conversation that his draft status when he came into the league had assumed he would become an ace someday. Lodolo amassed 1.7 fWAR in the second half, equal to Corbin Burnes, Sandy Alcantara, and more than Gerrit Cole. Among qualified starters, the southpaw posted a top-10 strikeout rate (30%) while also keeping the ball on the ground at a 47.2% rate, the sort of combination that is required for success at Great American Ball Park. Lodolo did all of his relying heavily on a three-pitch blend of his four-seam fastball, sinker, and his slider. The 24-year-old's slider graded out as one of the best in baseball in the second half. Hence, the combination was obviously effective, and he should be ready to take the next step toward becoming a frontline starter in 2023. Lodolo is coming off the board between the 35th and 40th starting pitcher, so he's a tremendous value right now in drafts.
