Injury woes might corner Reds into trusting shaky rookie once again

Despite winning a ridiculous ballgame on August 4, the Cincinnati Reds were met with some devastating news in the aftermath of the 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. Starting pitcherNick Lodolo was placed to the 15-day injured list with a blister issue on his left hand.

Lodolo joined staff ace Hunter Greene on the IL, not to mention top prospect Rhett Lowder and veteran Wade Miley, among others.

That lengthy injury report is pushing the Reds to the brink with their pitching depth, as the team recalled reliever Yosver Zulueta to fill the roster spot on Tuesday and plan to move Nick Martinez into the starting rotation.
