Jorge is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Jorge was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday and made his first MLB start Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The 22-year-old will shift to the bench Sunday as lefty Kyle Harrison takes the mound for Milwaukee, with Jorge expected to continue operating on the strong side of a platoon in center field moving forward. Dane Myers is starting in center and batting leadoff for Cincinnati.

Reds' Carlos Jorge: Makes first MLB start
Rotowire
Jorge started in center field and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 5-3 win over Milwaukee.
Jorge, who was called up Friday and made his MLB debut as a pinch hitter that night, drew his first start as a major-leaguer Saturday. At the time of his call-up Friday, Reds manager Terry Francona suggested Mark Sheldon of MLB.com the lefty-swinging Jorge would get plenty of action in center field against right-handers. Jorge is known for his speed and stole 33 bases in the minors this year, and he had at least 37 thefts in each of his previous three seasons.

Reds' Carlos Jorge: Added to MLB roster
Rotowire
The Reds selected Jorge's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Jorge earned his first-ever big-league promotion after slashing .308/.376/.427 with eight home runs and 33 stolen bases between Double-A Chattanooga and Louisville this season. Manager Terry Francona said Friday that he plans to play Jorge in center field "probably against righties," per Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati, so it sounds like the 22-year-old will see his fair share of playing time over the final weeks of the season as the strong side of a platoon with Dane Myers.

Reds' Carlos Jorge: Finishing season at High-A
Rotowire
The Reds promoted Jorge from Single-A Daytona to High-A Dayton on Aug. 11.
The 19-year-old second baseman slashed .295/.400/.483 with nine home runs, 31 steals and a 19.7 percent strikeout rate in 86 games for Daytona prior to the promotion. Jorge is hitting .231 with a 40.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 27 plate appearances for Dayton, but regardless of how he fares at High-A over the rest of the season, his production at Single-A confirmed that he has an exciting long-term toolset for fantasy.

Rotowire
Jorge is slashing .304/.431/.522 with three home runs, five steals and an 11:10 K:BB in his last 12 games for Single-A Daytona.
On the season, the 19-year-old second baseman is hitting .285/.389/.458 with seven home runs and 28 steals in 70 games. Jorge combines excellent speed with a good command of the strike zone and enough power to keep pitchers honest.

Reds' Carlos Jorge: Excellent full-season debut
Rotowire
Jorge is slashing .310/.388/.506 with three home runs, five steals and a 23.5 percent strikeout rate in 24 games with Single-A Daytona.
Jorge put up excellent statistical campaigns in the Dominican Summer League in 2021 and the Arizona Complex League in 2022, but those are very hitter-friendly leagues, so it's encouraging that he has kept producing after this notable jump in competition. He has even cut his strikeout rate from 26.6 percent in the ACL, so things couldn't be going much better for the 19-year-old second baseman.
