Nick Lodolo Pushed Back Due To Calf Issue
2 years agoCincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (calf) is dealing with a sore left calf and is having his next start pushed back from Thursday to Saturday against the Miami Marlins so that he can get some extra rest. Right-hander Hunter Greene will pitch on Wednesday against the New York Mets, with the Reds listed as TBA for Thursday. Graham Ashcraft will go on Friday to kick off the weekend series against Miami. There's a good chance that Ben Lively will make the spot start for Cincy on Thursday. Lodolo could use the extra rest after pitching poorly in his last start, and he's now sporting a 6.29 ERA (5.88 FIP), 1.75 WHIP, 10 walks and 47 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings over his seven starts. His next matchup will be a better one against the Fish, but fantasy managers should still tread lightly.
