Nick Lodolo (finger) is expected to meet with a doctor and Monday and join the team Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact

The Reds have placed Nick Lodolo on the 15-day IL with a left middle finger sprain.
Fantasy Impact

Nick Lodolo endured a rough outing in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed five earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out nine over 4.2 innings. Despite showcasing his ability to miss bats, Lodolo's inconsistency this season continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His ERA ballooned to 4.76, and while his WHIP remains a respectable 1.20, his tendency to have blow-up starts like this one can be damaging. His high strikeout rate still makes him a viable fantasy option, but managers should be wary of matchups and consider him a risky play in shallower leagues. Since the all-star break, Lodolo has a 7.78 ERA over 37 innings pitched.
Nick Lodolo had a forgettable performance in Saturday's 13-1 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed eight earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over just 2 1/3 innings. This outing marks a significant deviation from his otherwise stable season, where he maintains a 4.55 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP over 20 starts. Given the drastic nature of this performance, fantasy managers should consider it an outlier rather than a trend, especially considering his solid strikeout rates and FIP. However, it's worth monitoring his next few starts for any signs of lingering issues that could affect his fantasy viability.
