Reds Call Up Outfielder Carlos Jorge from Triple-A

The Cincinnati Reds are preparing to promote outfielder Carlos Jorge from Triple-A Louisville, as reported by Mike Rodriguez. This move comes as the team navigates a full 40-man roster and considers necessary adjustments following first baseman/outfielder Michael Toglia's recent shoulder surgery.

At 22 years old, Jorge will make his major league debut upon taking the field. He has had a successful 2026 season, with a combined batting average of .308 across Double-A and Triple-A, including eight home runs and 33 stolen bases in 38 attempts. Jorge is recognized for his speed and contact skills, although he has been noted for below-average power.

Ranked as the Reds' No. 12 prospect by Baseball America and 16th by MLB.com, Jorge transitioned from shortstop to outfield in 2023. His defensive abilities and speed may provide him with opportunities in a Cincinnati outfield that has shown inconsistency this season. The team is expected to seek outfield upgrades as they prepare for the 2027 season.
