Reds' Rhett Lowder Sidelined by Oblique Strain
Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Rhett Lowder suffered a significant left oblique strain during his rehab start for Triple-A Louisville, further delaying his return to the majors. Lowder, the team's 2023 first-round pick, had already missed time in 2025 due to elbow and forearm issues, and exited his most recent game after just 12 pitches. Manager Terry Francona stated that Lowder will be unable to participate in baseball activities for several weeks, with no current timeline for his return. Last season, Lowder posted a 1.17 ERA in six major league starts but has yet to pitch for the Reds in 2025. The Reds have made roster adjustments, including signing Garrett Hampson and moving Carson Spiers to the 60-day injured list, as other players like Noelvi Marte and Tyler Stephenson have also faced oblique injuries. Lowder's absence is a setback for the team's pitching depth as the season progresses.
