What's the latest timeline on Nick Lodolo and Hunter Greene's return to Reds?

CINCINNATI — The top of the Cincinnati Reds’ rotation — right-hander Hunter Greene and left-hander Nick Lodolo — is getting closer to their returning to the team, but neither starter will be back imminently, manager Terry Francona said Tuesday. Lodolo, who has the spent the entire season on the injured list with a recurrence of a blister issue on his left index finger, made it through his first rehab start Sunday and is expected to pitch again Saturday for the Triple-A Louisville Bats in Omaha, Neb. Greene had surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow during spring training. Still on pace for an expected July return. Francona said that Greene is throwing from 110 feet at the team’s spring training complex in Arizona and is about three weeks away from his first bullpen session. Lodolo threw five scoreless innings in his first rehab start at High-A Dayton, giving up just two hits with seven strikeouts and no walks. Lodolo was so effective that he only needed 51 pitches (39 strikes) before exiting the game, after which he continued throwing in the Dragons’ bullpen. Lodolo has been on the IL with blisters on his left index finger each of the last two seasons and also as a minor leaguer in 2021.  He made a start for Class-A Daytona earlier this month but stopped after 39 pitches when the blister reappeared.

Removing it from his repertoire is a not an option and changing it would likely make it worse. “It’s something we don’t really want to change,” Lodolo said earlier this month after his first rehab stint was paused. The team limited him to 10 breaking balls in his start for the Dragons, but Francona said he thinks he only threw eight in the game, but did throw several more while warming up. Lodolo didn’t report any problems with the blister after Sunday’s outing. Left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson (oblique strain) is scheduled to begin his...
