Throws Sim Game Ahead of Triple-A Louisville Rehab Assignment

Cincinnati Reds starter Rhett Lowder took a significant step in his recovery from a right shoulder injury by throwing 45 pitches to hitters during a simulated game at Citi Field on Wednesday. Following this successful session, Lowder is scheduled to commence a formal rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. This progression marks a key milestone for the young pitcher as he works toward returning to the mound for the Reds after his recent stint on the sidelines due to injury.
