It was speculated on last night when Aristides Aquino was a very late scratch from the Triple-A lineup that he was getting the call. Then later that evening Hector Gomez of Z101 in the Dominican Republic tweeted out that Aquino was indeed getting called up by Cincinnati. He will fill out the Reds 25-man roster after their trade deadline moves left them with an open spot.
