Reds Lose Another Pitcher as Rhett Lowder Exits Start
The right-hander left after 59 pitches, and manager Terry Francona said the Reds will get an MRI and know more on Friday.
- On Thursday, Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Rhett Lowder exited his game against the Chicago Cubs in the fourth inning with right shoulder discomfort after throwing 59 pitches with the Cubs leading 1-0.
- Lowder arrived Thursday struggling with a 3-2 record and 5.09 ERA, coming off his worst start of a 14-start career in Pittsburgh five days earlier and having missed all of last season with injuries.
- Manager Terry Francona said Lowder "felt some clicking up there" and had "trouble getting into his spot," while Lowder admitted he had been "grinding through some stuff," having allowed a solo home run and three earned runs in three innings.
- The Cincinnati Reds fell to the Chicago Cubs for their seventh consecutive loss, dropping to 20-18 overall and 1-9 in the National League Central Division, as reliever Connor Phillips allowed seven runs in the inning after Lowder departed.
- With three starting pitchers already on the injured list including ace Hunter Greene and Left-hander Brandon Williamson on the 60-day IL, Nick Lodolo is expected to return Friday to start against the Houston Astros at home.
