Lodolo Still Rounding Into Form After Blister-Forced April Absence

The Reds lefty missed the entire month of April due to blister problems and is only now regaining his footing as Cincinnati's rotation piece.

Nick Lodolo missed all of April recovering from blister issues and has only recently begun to find his rhythm. His most recent start against the Mets showed improvement, with Lodolo throwing 6.0 innings and showing better command. He takes the mound Sunday against Atlanta's Spencer Strider as Cincinnati tries to avoid a series sweep. His injury history this season remains a relevant factor in evaluating his performance ceiling.
