Aguiar is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie right-hander will make his second turn through the rotation after covering four innings in his MLB debut in Toronto this past Monday, when he took a no-decision after striking out two batters while giving up two earned runs on four hits and one walk. With Hunter Greene (elbow) and Andrew Abbott (shoulder) recently joining Graham Ashcraft (elbow) and Brandon Williamson (shoulder) on the injured list, Aguiar should have the opportunity to make additional starts beyond Saturday.

Aguiar didn't factor into the decision Monday against Toronto, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk across four innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds kept Aguiar's MLB debut brief, pulling the 23-year-old after 57 pitches. He surrendered his first big-league home run to the third batter he faced, as Vlad Guerrero went yard with two outs in the first frame. Aguiar was recalled to fill the rotation spot of Hunter Greene (elbow) and could stick around for another start, which would likely come this weekend against Pittsburgh.

The Reds selected Aguiar's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aguiar will make his major-league debut Monday in Toronto, taking the rotation spot of the injured Hunter Greene (elbow). The 23-year-old has split his 2024 season between Louisville and Double-A Chattanooga, collecting a 3.79 ERA and 95:29 K:BB over 116.1 frames between the two stops. Aguiar should have an opportunity to make at least one additional start later this week, which would come in Pittsburgh.

Aguiar is expected to be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start Monday's game in Toronto, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Aguiar gets summoned from Triple-A, he would be making his MLB debut as a replacement in the rotation for Hunter Greene (elbow), who was placed on the injured list over the weekend. The 23-year-old right-hander made nine starts for Louisville this season, with his most recent outing coming this past Tuesday, when he allowed two runs on three hits with seven strikeouts over six innings. Aguiar, the organization's pitcher of the year for 2023, opened the season at Double-A Chattanooga and made 13 starts for the club before his promotion to Triple-A in June.
