The Reds announced this afternoon they have recalled OF Yorman Rodriguez from AAA-Louisville. SP Josh Smith was sent to AA-Pensacola as the corresponding move.
Yorman Rodriguez is currently listed as the Reds #9 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline, and #10 on Baseball America. Our own Doug Gray ranked Rodriguez as the Reds #4 prospect in his recent mid-season ranking. Rodriguez was selected to play in the futures game on Sunday in Cincinnati. He is only 22 years old, and was signed in 2009 for a $2.5 million bonus at the age of 16 by the Reds.
