MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cincinnati Reds will start the season with Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his index finger, joining Hunter Greene who is out following elbow surgery.
- Lodolo's injury is less severe, and he is expected to return about two weeks into the season after missing at least one or two starts; this marks his third consecutive season affected by blister issues.
- Andrew Abbott will make his first career Opening Day start against the Red Sox, with Brady Singer and Rhett Lowder likely moving up in the rotation to cover Lodolo’s absence.
- Chase Burns and Brandon Williamson are set to round out the Reds’ starting rotation for the following series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
