Rhett Lowder is starting a throwing progression on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Lowder is working his way back from dealing with elbow soreness. "I hit a hiccup, but I feel great with where I'm at now," Lowder said. "It was a blessing in disguise. It opened a light to things I need to work on with my body that I didn't know about."
Rhett Lowder is "delayed" entering camp because of shoulder soreness that came up early January.
Fantasy Impact
There is no structural damage for Lowder. He called it "nothing crazy" and expects to start a throwing program this week.
Rhett Lowder delivered a strong performance, allowing zero earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his commendable effort, Lowder was left without a decision, a recurring theme that might frustrate fantasy managers given his solid 1.17 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through six starts. His low strikeout rate (6.5 K/9) continues to be a concern for those needing whiffs, but his ability to suppress runs makes him a viable option in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate in favorable matchups. However, his lack of run support and win potential on the Reds could limit his overall fantasy impact.
Rhett Lowder delivered a strong performance, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks, and striking out four in the Reds' 7-1 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
This outing continues a promising trend for Lowder, who has maintained a stellar 1.40 ERA through his first five starts of the season. His WHIP stands at 1.29, and while his strikeout rate isn't overwhelming at 7.4 K/9, his ability to limit runs effectively boosts his fantasy value. The solid FIP of 2.91 suggests that his success isn't just a fluke, but rather a result of skillful pitching. Fantasy managers should consider Lowder a reliable option.
Rhett Lowder allowed three runs on six hits across 5 1/3 innings on Sunday against the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Lowder added five strikeouts and one walk. The final two runs he allowed were the inherited runners left on base when he was taken out of the game. He carries a 1.74 ERA through his first four career starts.
