While Cody Reed has been a multiple inning for the Cincinnati Reds, Jackson Stephens and Sal Romano have each started four games for the Louisville Bats. That doesn’t sound like a bunch, but that was just the first month of the season. Reed, meanwhile, started one game and looked awful. The Reds could just be bringing Reed along slowly.
Both Romano and Stephens are on the Reds’ forty man roster. Romano even started one game for the Reds in April, making his MLB debut to cover for the injured Rookie Davis. That means they could be up in Cincinnati instead of Reed, as well.
