Jorge is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.
The left-handed-hitting Jorge will take a seat for the fifth time in six games, with all five of those absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Dane Myers will cover center field in place of Jorge, who has gone 2-for-19 with a 1:7 BB:K and one stolen base in eight games since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on Sept. 4.

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.
