Lodolo’s Blister Blues and Team Adjustments | Cincinnati Reds News

Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo’s blister woes return, forcing another stint on the injured list — this time a blister on his left index finger, the same spot plaguing him for years. He exited Saturday’s game early, and with him sidelined, the Reds call up Chase Petty from Louisville to bolster the bullpen while Rhett Lowder steps into the rotation. Lodolo’s breaking ball — his signature pitch — is the culprit, and while adjusting his grip is being considered, the team is wary of risking shoulder injuries. At 28, with a 3-2 record and a 4.60 ERA, the Reds desperately need Lodolo healthy to stay competitive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
