2023 Fantasy Outlook
The seventh overall pick in 2019, Lodolo is already paying dividends for Cincinnati. He began the 2022 season as the Reds' No. 5 starter but made just three starts before a back issue cropped up that would ultimately sidelined the lefty well beyond the initial estimated timetable. Once finally back, Lodolo pitched like a star in the making, posting a 2.92 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21.3 K-BB% in 77 innings after the All-Star break. Lodolo sits around 94 mph with his fastball variations and can break off a nasty curveball to put hitters away. Hunter Greene gets most of the attention in the Reds' rotation, but Lodolo is arguably better equipped for major-league success right now given his secondary pitches and command of his arsenal.

Transferred to 60-day IL
Cincinnati transferred Lodolo (leg) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Lodolo remains in a protective walking boot more than two weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left tibia. The move to the 60-day IL means he'll be out until at least mid-July.

2020
Reports of Lodolo struggling at the alternate training site threw us off the scent, but he showed in 2021 that he can still make good on his potential as a mid-rotation starter, perhaps sooner than later. The lanky 6-foot-6 lefty logged a 2.31 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, a 78:11 K:BB and a groundball rate over 54% in 50.2 innings across 13 starts (11 at Double-A, two at Triple-A). A blister knocked him out of action for four weeks early in the summer and a shoulder strain ended his season in August, so Lodolo was unable to build up his innings to a satisfactory level in his first full season in the minors. In many ways, Lodolo is the antithesis of org. mate Hunter Greene, as he lacks high-octane stuff, but he has excellent command of four average or better pitches. His upper-80s slider and low-to-mid-90s sinker are his bread and butter offerings, enabling him to miss enough bats while generating weak contact. The Reds have already made it clear that Lodolo will get to compete for a rotation spot this spring. Barring some big trades after the lockout, he will likely head back to Triple-A, but chances are he will make more appearances in the majors than in the minors.
