The wait is over, it’s time for the Cincinnati Reds to recall Jose Barrero to the major leagues. The 23-year-old was optioned on August 28th, and with the required 10-day window now expired, it’s time to bring Barrero back to the big leagues.
Barrero’s inclusion on the 28-man roster is not a necessity for the Reds’ playoff push, though it’s likely that shortstop Kyle Farmer will soon be placed on the paternity list once his wife gives birth to their first child.
