Left-hander Nick Lodolo, on the injured list due to a blister on his left index finger, is expected to make his rehab start in a Florida State League game. If successful, the 9-game winner with a 3.33 ERA last season could join Cincinnati's rotation for next week's series in Miami.
Meanwhile, left-hander Caleb Ferguson (right oblique strain) threw from 90 feet on flat ground Wednesday and is expected to accompany the team on their upcoming road trip.
