The Reds are giving 31-year-old Julian Garcia his first MLB callup, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
Garcia was released by the Phillies after the 2022 season, but he kept pitching in indy ball and joined the Reds’ Double-A affiliate late last season. After moving back to the pen this year, he had a 3.03 ERA and a 54/12 K/BB in 35 2/3 innings for Triple-A Louisville. No word yet on whose roster spot he’ll be claiming.
