Reds Get Encouraging News on Young Starter Rhett Lowder

Day reported that Lowder's bullpen session in Philadelphia on Tuesday went very well. Lowder suffered a right shoulder injury earlier this month that sent him to the injured list. Lowder's injury was another added to the long list of injuries this Reds team is currently dealing with. Unfortunately, most of those injuries have hit the starting pitching rotation.

Lowder sits on the injured list with Brandon Williamson and Brady Singer. Also, closer Emilio Pagan is out with a hamstring injury that he painfully suffered during the series with the Chicago Cubs earlier this month.

But Day's update on Lowder should be one that gives the fans some ease. Pitching has taken a major hit. Having Lowder back would be massive for this team.

Lowder made eight starts before his injury at Wrigley Field. The former first-round pick posted a 3-3 record in those starts, with 27 strikeouts, and a bloated 5.40 ERA.

The ERA may not be where you want to see it, but having a healthy arm in this rotation right now is all anyone can ask for.

Getting Healthy

The offense has seemingly found a groove in recent games. Add on the return of the majority of the starting rotation from the injured list, and maybe, just maybe, we can see the Queen City squad make some magic this summer.

What's Next For The Reds?

The series finale between the Reds and Phillies is on tap for Wednesday. Andrew Abbott is set to square off with Aaron Nola. Abbott's shaky start to the season has now become a distant memory. Abbott has won three of his last four starts, and a win on Wednesday may extinguish any worries anyone has of the 2025 all-star.

Are things finally looking up? Let's not curse it and keep the good vibes rolling.
