The Cincinnati Reds have placed left-hander Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list with a blister on his left index finger.

After agreeing to go to the bullpen after the Cincinnati Reds traded for starting pitcher Zack Littell, Nick Martinez will head right back to the rotation after Nick Lodolo was placed on the injured list on Tuesday with a blister issue on his finger.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo had avoided the IL for the longest stretch of his big-league career until now, becoming a staff workhorse.
