Reds call up Héctor Rodríguez after Nathaniel Lowe trade
Cincinnati skipped a service-time delay and promoted the 22-year-old outfielder immediately, slotting him into the lineup as Lowe's replacement.
The Reds promoted Héctor Rodríguez from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, forgoing a 10-day service-time manipulation window to keep the team competitive. Rodríguez hit .274/.347/.533 with 27 home runs in 104 Triple-A games this season at age 22. He profiles as a platoon bat, posting a .302/.368/.649 line vs. right-handed pitching compared to .220/.275/.371 vs. lefties. He joins a favorable offensive ballpark and could contribute in mixed fantasy leagues immediately.
