Overview

  • Lodolo exited Monday’s game against the Cubs after 1⅔ innings when a fluid-filled blister formed on his left index finger.
  • The Reds officially moved him to the 15-day injured list on August 5 to allow his finger to heal before a potential return.
  • Manager Terry Francona said the club will err on the side of caution to prevent the blister from escalating into a more serious arm issue.
  • Yosver Zulueta will join the bullpen after allowing one run over 2⅓ innings in two relief appearances earlier this season.
  • Lodolo has compiled an 8-6 record with a 3.05 ERA across a career-high 129⅔ innings while Cincinnati pursues a wild-card berth.
