Reds to Promote Zach McCambley, Can he Carve Out a Role?
The Cincinnati Reds are calling up right-hander Zach McCambley to the majors on Tuesday, according to Milb Central. McCambley came to the Reds on May 21 from the Miami Marlins as part of the trade that sent outfielder Rece Hinds to Miami. The 27-year-old former third-rounder by Miami in 2020 out of Coastal Carolina University gets the call to the big leagues for the first time after going 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 37:18 K:BB in 30 1/3 innings across 15 appearances (two starts) this year with Triple-A Jacksonville and Triple-A Louisville. He also pitched well with Jacksonville and Double-A Pensacola in 47 relief outings in 2025, posting a 2.90 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with one save, 83 strikeouts, and 22 walks in 62 innings out of the bullpen. McCambley isn't blowing anyone away with his four-seam fastball, but he has displayed a nice slider/cutter combination to help keep hitters off balance. He'll look to make his mark out of Cincy's bullpen in his first taste of the Show. In most fantasy leagues, McCambley can be ignored for now.
