2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Reds announced in spring training that Lodolo was still not 100 percent after he suffered a second stress reaction in his left tibia late in 2023. He debuted April 13 with a 10-strikeout gem, only to go down a month later with a left groin strain. From there, Lodolo battled a blister and a sprained left finger -- the latter costing him the final month of the season. Somehow he made 21 starts in between four separate IL stints, pitching to a 9-6 record and 4.76 ERA over 115.1 innings. Lodolo regained some zip on his fastball and his trademark looping curveball remained a dominant pitch for him. The underlying numbers portend better surface stats, with FIP, xFIP and SIERA all pointing to a deserved ERA below 4.00 last season. Once a highly touted prospect, Lodolo has tantalized when on the field, but his health has held him back. Cincinnati will hope and pray to get him close to 150 innings for the first time.

Expectations were high for Lodolo entering his sophomore season, but he ended up making just seven starts before going down with a stress reaction in his left tibia. The southpaw appeared to be on the verge of a return in August, but a second stress reaction in the same tibia took a return off the table. Fortunately for Lodolo and the Reds, offseason surgery is not expected to be necessary. During his brief time on the field, Lodolo's stuff was down across the board. He allowed 10 home runs in 34.1 innings for an unsightly 27.0% HR/FB. Lodolo admitted in spring training that he was having some trouble adjusting to the pitch clock, so that may have played a factor. No matter how you slice it, it was a lost season for the 2019 No. 7 overall pick. He was still able to rack up the strikeouts even with diminished velocity last season (28.3 K%), and Lodolo is just entering his age-26 season. Cincinnati will have him take the ball every fifth day for as long as his body allows.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Has talked extension with CIN
Lodolo has engaged in contract extension talks with the Reds, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis
Cincinnati signed Hunter Greene to a six-year, $53 million contract extension Tuesday and would surely like to lock up Lodolo to form a pair of long-term co-aces. There's also chatter about Graham Ashcraft being an extension candidate. Lodolo, 25, has pitched to a 3.89 ERA with 162 strikeouts through his first 125 major-league innings since debuting in 2022. He's currently under the Reds' control through 2027.
