Reds Call Up Speedster Jorge | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds are calling up speedy outfielder Carlos Jorge, their 16th-ranked prospect, to play center field against the Brewers — a move that signals their focus on building for next year. Jorge, nearly 23, wowed manager Terry Francona in spring training with his hustle and has swiped 33 bases while hitting over .300 in the minors. He’s all about defense and getting on base for his team, admitting he didn’t expect this call-up after time in Double-A. Meanwhile, reliever Graham Ashcraft is set to return from injury on September 6th, bringing solid stats (1-1, 3.33 ERA) and depth to the bullpen as the Reds push toward the season’s finish line.
