What happened: The Cincinnati Reds are calling up right-handed pitcher Julian Garcia, who will make his major-league debut, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported. Garcia, 31, was a 10th-round pick in the 2016 draft and has spent his entire professional career working toward this promotion. He has posted a 3.03 ERA at Triple-A this season.

Why it matters: Reaching the majors at 31 as a former 10th-round pick is a notable milestone for a player who spent nearly a decade in the minor-league system. For a Reds club sitting at 36-39, fresh, missile-armed bullpen depth is a meaningful addition as Cincinnati tries to stay in the mix. The promotion also rewards one of the organization's most durable arms at Triple-A.

What to watch: Watch for how the Reds deploy Garcia out of the bullpen and whether his Triple-A strikeout rate translates against big-league hitters.
