Nick Lodolo ranked 3rd on the 2022 Cincinnati Reds in overall bWAR (2.7), and his breakout first campaign saw him finish 6th in the National League’s Rookie of the Year voting. He last pitched for the Reds on May 6th of this year, however, as a persistent problem with his left tibia landed him on the 60-day injured list almost immediately.
He’d been on the way back to the Reds with rehab starts as high as AA Chattanooga of late, but according to MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon, Lodolo has had a setback that could derail the remainder of his 2023 season altogether.
