Reds place Nick Lodolo (finger blister) on 15-day injured list

Lodolo was limited by the blister on Sunday in his start against the Boston Red Sox. The skin on the blister reportedly hadn't broken, so the Reds might be trying to prevent a long-term issue. Graham Ashcraft is a candidate to start in place of Lodolo on Friday versus the St. Louis Cardinals, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Lodolo is averaging 36.0 FanDuel points through 12 starts this season, with a 2.96 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Among qualified pitchers this season, his strikeout rate (25.1) is in the top 68th percentile and his walk rate (6.5) is in the top 72nd percentile.
