8/30 15:22: John Fayman of the Cincinnati Enquirer says the Reds have announced Aroldis Chapman will be called up for Tuesday’s game.  He’ll be eligible for the post-season roster should the Reds make the playoffs.

8/29 18:51: According to a Cincinnati Reds source close to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the Cincinnati Reds will call up Aroldis Chapman on Monday or Tuesday.

It’s been widely believed that the Reds would call up their left-handed phenom when the rosters on September 1st.

The left-handed pitcher signed a six-year, $30 million contract with the Reds last January with the intention of him being a future ace of the franchise. Chapman has been used as a starter in Triple-A Louisville this season.  He’ll likely pitch as a reliever this season, and over time he’ll be transitioned to a starting pitcher.
