Nick Lodolo To Make Season Debut Saturday
8 months agoCincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (calf) will come off the injured list to make his season debut on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox, according to manager David Bell. Lodolo made only seven starts for the Reds in 2023 due to a stress fracture in his tibia and gave up four runs in just 2 2/3 innings while throwing 64 pitches in his final minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Louisville, so he'll be a pretty low-upside fantasy option on Saturday in his first start of the year, even against the lowly White Sox. The 26-year-old probably will be on a short leash this weekend after throwing 77 pitches in his first rehab start on the farm. Even if you don't use him against Chicago, Lodolo is worth snatching up off the waiver wire in mixed fantasy leagues for his strikeout upside if he can remain healthy this year.
