Cincinnati Reds fans were already gearing up for the return of Chase Burns, but it appears as though another rookie hurler may be on his way back to the active roster as well. According to Power Stacks Podcast host Brian Giesenschlag, Rhett Lowder will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, September 13.
Lowder has been out of commission all season long, and it's been assumed for months that he would not return to the mound this season. That may still be the case, but the timing is awfully convenient, isn't it?
