Reds pitcher Rhett Lowder faces hitters in simulated game, and rehab assignment could be next
The rookie right-hander is on the injured list with shoulder pain and could make a one-start rehab outing for Triple-A Louisville next week.
- Cincinnati Reds starter Rhett Lowder threw 45 pitches Wednesday at Citi Field against teammates including outfielder Will Benson, advancing his recovery from right shoulder injury.
- Lowder's injury came after he exited his May 7 start against the Chicago Cubs in the fourth inning with right shoulder pain, leading to placement on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 10.
- The 24-year-old rookie, selected seventh overall by Cincinnati in the 2023 draft from Wake Forest, compiled a 1.17 ERA across six starts in August 2024 but has posted a 5.40 ERA in eight starts this season.
- Cincinnati manager Terry Francona did not rule out Lowder returning to the rotation after one minor league rehabilitation start, emphasizing that getting him healthy remains the priority.
- Francona noted Lowder was out only two or three days, suggesting the injury was not severe and positioning him for a swift return if his Triple-A Louisville assignment at Memphis goes smoothly.
