Lodolo to Start Season on IL Due to Finger Blister
25 Mar
Summary
- Lodolo begins the season on the injured list.
- A finger blister forced Lodolo out of his recent start.
- Brandon Williamson will fill the rotation spot.

As of March 25, 2026, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Lodolo has been placed on the injured list to start the regular season. This decision comes after the 28-year-old experienced a finger blister that caused him to exit his last start.
Lodolo has recently begun playing catch, indicating some progress in his recovery. However, the team has opted for him to begin the season on the IL, ensuring he has adequate time for a complete recovery.
Consequently, Brandon Williamson will be called upon to fill the vacancy in Cincinnati's starting rotation. This change allows Lodolo to heal properly while Williamson gets an opportunity.
