Abbott (7-1, 2.15 ERA) has pitched well enough in 15 starts to help put the Reds at the fringes of the wild-card playoff mix – and maybe well enough yet earn a first All-Star bid the way teammate Hunter Greene did a year ago.

After spending 6 months of combined time on the IL for 6 injuries the last 3 years, Nick Lodolo (19 starts, 3.38 ERA) is healthy for Cincinnati Reds.
