Nick Lodolo last pitched for the Cincinnati Reds on May 6th, a shin/calf/tibia injury derailing his second season in the big leagues immediately after. Today, the Reds moved him to the 60-day injured list to free up a 40-man roster spot for other moves, meaning the earliest we’ll see him back is around the 4th of July.
It was the pulled hamstring of TJ Friedl that prompted the shuffling, as the Reds chose to finally move him to the 10-day injured list and get some active reinforcements. The question we all were asking, of course, is which of the top prospects at AAA Louisville would get the call in the wake of said maneuvering.
