Cincinnati Reds righty Rhett Lowder will take the mound again on Saturday in Arizona Fall League action, this time against the Glendale Desert Dogs at Camelback Ranch. He’s appeared twice so far in AFL play, but he’s only faced the Salt River Rafters, making this his first foray into some new competition.
Lowder, though, will dodge top Dodgers prospect Josue De Paula (MLB Pipeline #13 overall), who is not in the starting lineup on the day for the Desert Dogs.
As has been the case in each of his first two outings, however, Lowder will have each of Alfredo Duno and Cam Collier in the lineup behind him, as the two other top prospects in the Cincinnati system playing in AFL ball will once again play alongside him. Duno will catch Lowder for the third time, while Collier will man 1B on the day.
