The Reds have lost three straight games and their offense is a big reason why. Since August 1, they have scored more than three runs just one time, a 5-1 win over the Chicago Cubs.
They have not hit a home run in their last three games. Meanwhile, their top-ranked prospect, Sal Stewart, is hitting the cover off the ball in Triple-A Louisville.
Over his last 12 games, Stewart is slashing .286/.451/.773 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, and more walks than strikeouts.
The question is, where would the Reds play him? There isn’t an obvious answer, but when someone is hitting, you find a place for him.
The Reds don’t have time to just sit on their hands and hope the offense turns things around. They need to try something, and calling up Stewart might just be the move that gives this offense a much-needed spark.
The Reds will look to break their three-game losing streak when they face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:40 ET on Saturday night at PNC Park.
