Nick Lodolo's Blister Battle Continues | Cincinnati Reds News

Nick Lodolo’s season just got tougher — again — as he exited his Reds’ game against the Cubs in the sixth inning due to a recurring blister on his left index finger. The pain flared right before he surrendered a game-tying homer to Carson Kelly, and despite pitching five innings with four strikeouts and only two runs, the blister forced an early exit. This isn’t his first rodeo with the issue — it’s been a persistent struggle throughout his career, frustrating both him and the team as they try to get consistent innings from their ace. With his health hanging in the balance, fans are hoping the medical staff can get this finger back in shape so Lodolo can return to his dominant form on the mound.
