Nick Lodolo Eyes Opening Day Start in Saturday Cactus League Outing

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo takes the mound Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, looking to solidify his case for the Opening Day start. With Hunter Greene sidelined indefinitely due to elbow stiffness, Lodolo is a primary candidate for the role. In his lone spring appearance, Lodolo fired two scoreless innings with four strikeouts against the White Sox. He will look to build on that momentum against a more potent Royals lineup in today's 3:05 PM ET matchup.
