Thursday’s trade deadline felt like a missed opportunity for the Chicago Cubs to add a more proven starter who could get the ball in a playoff game.

Cincinnati Reds starter Nick Lodolo is 3-1 with a 1.81 ERA in his last eight starts. He's likely headed to the IL because of a finger blister.

The Cincinnati Reds may be losing Nick Lodolo to the IL after he exited Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs prematurely. Thankfully, the Reds picked up an extra starter at the MLB trade deadline from the Tampa Bay Rays.
