When Did Kyle Lohse Become Todd Wellemeyer?

I’m trying to figure out what the hell is wrong w/ Kyle Lohse. Anyone have any ideas? I can’t help but wonder if he’s (still?) hurt. Gathering my information from fangraphs, I noticed that his fastball has averaged 90.2 mph all season long but in July it only averaged 88.9 mph. It’s not a huge difference but losing 1.5 mph off one’s fastball, for someone who needs every mph he can get, could be significant. It could also be indicative of an injury. In April, he averaged 90.3 mph. In May he averaged 91.1 mph. He threw all of 2 innings in June before getting hurt and then his fastball has fallen to 88.9 mph in July. Not a huge difference, but…
