Reds Activate Left-Hander Nick Lodolo From 15-Day Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds officially activated left-hander Nick Lodolo from the 15-day injured list on Friday, clearing the way for his 2026 season debut against the Houston Astros. Lodolo had been sidelined due to a finger injury, and his return provides a much-needed boost to a Cincinnati pitching staff looking for stability. The team expects the southpaw to bolster the starting rotation immediately as they move forward in their current campaign and look to gain ground in the standings.
