The Cincinnati Reds placed Wade Miley on the injured list with a neck strain this weekend. That left them in need of a starting pitcher for Monday’s make up game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. While the move hasn’t officially been made yet, the Reds have announced that left-handed starter Reiver Sanmartin will be called up and take the mound to make his Major League debut.
The Reds acquired Reiver Sanmartin in the trade that also brought them Sonny Gray in January of 2019. At the time Sanmartin has limited experience above Low-A, making two appearances in Advanced-A and one more in Double-A.
