Reds' Nick Lodolo: Could be available in 'pen Sunday
Lodolo (groin) is expected to throw pitches from a bullpen mound Sunday and could be available in relief for the Reds' regular-season finale against the Brewers later that day, MLB.com reports.
Though Brady Singer is scheduled to start for the Reds, Lodolo may be called upon to cover an inning or two in relief while Cincinnati takes an all-hands-on-deck approach in a game that will decide the final NL wild-card spot. The Reds and the Mets enter Game 162 tied, but Cincinnati owns the tiebreaker and will clinch a spot with a win or a Mets loss to the Marlins.

King generated seven whiffs on 49 pitches in his final regular-season outing as the Padres gear up to face the Cubs in the wild-card round. The 30-year-old posted a 5.74 ERA over four starts since returning from the injured list Sept. 9, though much of that damage came in an eight-run blowup against the Mets three turns ago. He'll wrap up an injury-plagued season with a 3.44 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB over 73.1 innings, while his role for the postseason remains unsettled.

He'll close the year with a 5.02 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 143:60 K:BB across 154.1 innings.

It's not yet known if Glasnow will feature out of the bullpen or serve as a starter during the wild-card round. He would be on four days' rest for Game 3 on Thursday, if necessary.

Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Reds, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 2.1 innings.
Misiorowski was called on with the bases loaded in the third inning and saw all three inherited runners come around before surrendering two runs of his own. After earning an All-Star nod just five starts into his career, the 23-year-old struggled down the stretch, posting a 5.36 ERA across 40.1 second-half innings. He'll close out his rookie campaign with a 4.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 87:31 K:BB over 66 major-league innings and is expected to stick in a bullpen role for the Brewers this postseason.

After a rough start to September in which he gave up five runs, the southpaw closed the month with four straight outings of three earned runs or fewer. He'll finish the regular season with a 2.87 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 149:43 K:BB across a career-high 166.1 innings.
