Reds quietly dealing with injury issue that might fast-track Sal Stewart’s MLB debut

Fans have been begging Nick Krall and the Cincinnati Reds front office to call up Sal Stewart, and they may soon get their wish. Though most fans have advocated for Stewart to replace the team's underperforming second baseman Matt McLain, a lingering injury to one of the Reds best bats may actually be what gets the young prospect to the big leagues.

Miguel Andujar has been battling a sore quad for the past few games, and if Terry Francona's lineup is any indication of the severity of the injury, it could be a bigger problem than fans are led to believe.
