PROSPECT: Andrew Abbott, SP, Cincinnati Reds
ANALYSIS: The Cincinnati Reds are calling up pitching prospect Andrew Abbott from Triple-A Louisville, and he will make his major-league debut and start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Manager David Bell said that this isn't just a spot start for Abbott, so fantasy managers in mixed leagues should absolutely take a chance on Abbott if he's available on your league's waiver wire.
Per MLB Pipeline, the 24-year-old left-hander is the team's No. 6 prospect. He had a 2.50 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 90 strikeouts in just 54 innings in 10 starts with Double-A Chattanooga and Louisville before earning the call-up. Given all the injuries to Cincy's starting rotation, there's a very real chance that Abbott sticks around the rest of the year if he performs well.
VERDICT: Abbott is Cincinatti's sixth-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, so he needs to be added off the waiver wire for fantasy managers searching for pitching in leagues where he's still available.
Andrew Abbott is headed to The Show.
The Reds have added MLB's No. 95 prospect to the taxi squad. Per @m_sheldon, the lefty will go into the rotation.
