The Cincinnati Reds are set to debut their No. 2 prospect, Rhett Lowder, in a doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers, reflecting the organization's desperate need for healthy starting pitchers. The 22-year-old, who was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, has excelled in the minors with a 3.64 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 108 2/3 innings.

On another front, the Chicago Cubs' rookie Shota Imanaga has impressed with a 3.08 ERA and could be a contender for NL Rookie of the Year. Additionally, the Brewers are eyeing free agent pitcher Shane Bieber, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, as a potential addition for the 2025 season.
