Lowder, who is competing for a role in the Reds rotation, was slowed by injury to begin Spring Training. From fellow SI writer Greg Kuffner: "Lowder has been dealing with an elbow injury and has yet to throw off a mound this spring. The 2023 seventh-overall pick made just six starts for the Reds last season but had an impressive ERA of 1.17 “Lowder is doing really well. He’s pleased, we’re pleased," Reds' manager Terry Francona said. "We’ll just let him go through his progression."
