The Cincinnati Reds have called up shortstop Jose Barrero. He’s taking the place on the 26-man roster of Jesse Winker who injured himself on a swing yesterday and is now dealing with an intercostal strain and has been placed on the 10-day injured list.
It was just yesterday that Reds General Manager Nick Krall said that Jose Barrero was still getting comfortable in Triple-A Louisville. Barrero, the 23-year-old shortstop, is currently hitting .305/.389/.584 for the Bats and has 19 doubles, a triple, 17 home runs, and 15 steals on the season between his stops in Double-A Chattanooga with the Lookouts and his time with Louisville this season in 80 games played.
