Reds: Nick Lodolo’s promotion signals changes for 2022 rotation

Cincinnati Reds non-roster invitee pitcher Nick Lodolo (86) throws in the bullpen during spring practice.

The Cincinnati Reds took Nick Lodolo in the first-round of the 2019 MLB Draft with the understanding that he’d be a fast-riser in the team’s farm system. While I doubt we’ll see Lodolo in the big leagues this season, it’s highly likely that the southpaw will be in the majors next season. What does that mean for Cincinnati’s 2022 starting rotation?

Hunter Greene has already started several games for the Louisville Bats this season, and there’s an outside possibility fans could see the flame-thrower make his major league debut later this season.
