Rhett Lowder

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

Rhett Lowder delivered a stellar performance, tossing five scoreless innings, allowing just five hits with no walks and striking out three in a 3-0 victory over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a promising trend for Lowder, who now boasts a minuscule 0.59 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP through his first three starts of the season. His control was on full display, as evidenced by not issuing a single walk, complementing his already impressive season-long metrics. While his strikeout rate remains modest at 7.0 K/9, his ability to limit runs and maintain a low BABIP (.262) suggests he could be a reliable option in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward ERA and WHIP. However, fantasy managers should temper expectations for high strikeout totals.
