Nick Lodolo Plays Light Catch, Status for Opening Day Still TBD
Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (finger) played light catch in camp on Tuesday for "maybe 15-20 throws," according to Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Lodolo said he doesn't know what the plan will be going into Opening Day on Thursday, and that the team is "working on it." He said the blister issue on his finger was OK, but didn't "sound particularly enthused." Beginning the 2026 regular season on the injured list is still in play for Lodolo as he recovers from a blister on his left index finger that forced him from his Cactus League outing on Sunday. If the 28-year-old does start in the IL, he will hopefully only miss a short amount of time to begin the year. If Lodolo begins the year in Cincy's Opening Day starting rotation, his first start of the year will be a risky one for fantasy managers this Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. With high-end strikeout upside, the former TCU standout is a must-roster pitcher in all fantasy formats in 2026.
