IMPACT: High
BHQ SPIN: This news puts a bit of a damper on Lodolo’s impressive return, although he reportedly plans to return after the minimum IL stay. Lodolo has been excellent so far; he’s posted a 3.34 ERA, .94 WHIP, and an 11.1 K/9 across 35 IP--with excellent metrics (2.95 xERA, 24% K-BB) to back it up.
