Reds respond to Nick Lodolo injury with move fans didn’t see coming

As expected, the Cincinnati Reds were forced to shelve starting pitcher Nick Lodolo for the next two weeks while he recovers from a blister on his left index finger. Lodolo exited during the second inning of Monday's win over the Chicago Cubs, and has been placed on the 15-day IL.

The Reds will turn to Yosver Zulueta. The right-hander hasn't been on the Reds' major-league roster since early-May, but has put up fantastic numbers down in the minors. The Reds will need as much help as they can get with their bullpen running on empty.
