The future is now.
The Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday made that call with the promotion of baseball’s top prospect — shortstop Elly De La Cruz — for the start of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Great American Ball Park.
It’s the most anticipated major-league debut for a Reds players since at least Jay Bruce 15 years ago.
He’ll be the eighth player overall to debut for the Reds, following Monday’s six scoreless innings pitched by Andrew Abbott.
