Forgotten Reds arm could receive surprise call-up after Nick Lodolo's injury vs. Cubs

Yosver Zulueta hasn't been on a Major League mound since May 4, so asking the young right-hander to rejoin a Cincinnati Reds squad who's in the thick of a playoff chase might be a tough ask. Nevertheless, Zulueta has been one of the top pitchers in the Reds' minor leagues over the past two months, and could be the team's best option if Nick Lodolo lands on the injured list.

Lodolo was having one of the best seasons of his career until a familiar injury crept in on on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs. During the bottom of the second inning, after delivering a first-pitch strike to Cubs' hitter Justin Turner, Lodolo signaled to the Reds dugout for a trainer.
