Rhett Lowder Poised for Key Role in Reds Starting Rotation

Rhett Lowder takes the mound Monday afternoon against the Athletics in Goodyear, looking to solidify his case for a spot in the Cincinnati Reds' starting rotation. Fully recovered from the dual injuries that sidelined him for most of 2025, Lowder has impressed throughout spring training. His performance is critical as the Reds navigate recent pitching concerns, including an elbow issue for Hunter Greene and inconsistent outings from other rotation candidates.
