Zach Maxwell was promoted to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday afternoon. He's the Reds' 27th ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline.

Maxwell has pitched in 14 games for the Lookouts in Double-A this season. He posted a 1.23 ERA with 27 strikeouts. He has a fastball that can touch triple digits and if he has success in Triple-A, don't be surprised to see him in the Reds' bullpen later this season.
