“It really kind of just came up,” Lodolo said. “The pitch to Castro, I struck him out, didn’t feel anything. I threw a slider to Turner and with felt like the skin ripped on my finger. When I looked down, there was a bubble under there and a whole bunch of fluid. Before I throw another pitch and rip it, I thought it was best to stop because I’ve done that in the past and it takes a lot longer to heal.”

The left-hander is enjoying the best season of his career, boasting an 8-6 record with a 3.05 ERA and 124 strikeouts across 129 2/3 innings.
