Rhett Lowder Leaves Rehab Outing With Side Injury
Rhett Lowder (forearm, side) was seen grabbing at his left side after following through with his delivery during his minor-league rehab outing with Triple-A Louisville in the second inning on Thursday and was removed from the game after being checked by a trainer. The 23-year-old, who is recovering from a strained right forearm, tossed a scoreless first inning before injuring his side in just his second rehab start. In addition to his new injury, Lowder has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) in 7 1/3 innings during his rehab assignment. It's unclear how serious his side injury is, but it's most likely going to extend his timetable for a return to the big leagues. The former seventh overall pick in 2023 out of Wake Forest is the team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and impressed with a 1.17 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in his first six MLB starts as a rookie in 2024.
