Lodolo Rehab Start, Top Prospects Shine

It's April 2nd.

From daily matchups to big moments, this is MLB News today, powered by AI.

The Daytona Tortugas just dropped their opening day roster, and the single A Reds affiliate

kicks off the season Thursday against the Jupiter, hammerheads in Daytona Beach.

Big news, Cincinnati Ace Nick Lidolo takes the mound for a rehab start after missing

game action since spring training.

Lidolo sounded pumped when chatting with the team's announcer yesterday, saying he's

ready to roll.

The roster packs 5 top 30 Reds prospects, led by MLB top 100 outfielder Tyson Lewis,

who's stepping up as a 20-year-old infielder, splitting time as shortstop in third base.

Lewis crushed it last year across levels, hitting 3-11 with 9 homers and serious power

that set organization exit velocity records.

His strikeouts are a work in progress at around 30%, but the 5-tool potential has everyone

buzzing about his future impact.

When there's 20-year-old outfielder, Arnato Lantigua, nabbed in the trade from the Dodgers,

bringing pop with 12 homers last season, despite some defensive limits to the corners.

Rounding out the talent, 11th ranked prospect Schengen Lind shifts full time to pitching

after a sharp 3.06 ERA in 61.

With this stack lineup in Jackie Robinson Ballpark, the Tortugas look prime for a strong start,

keep an eye on these rising stars as they battle.
