The Cincinnati Reds are expected to promote top prospect Sal Stewart, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

Stewart is slashing .315/.394/.629 with 25 exta-base hits in 38 games with Triple-A Louisville.

“Oh man, it means everything to me," Stewart told MiLB.com."I’ve been working my whole life for this, and it’s right in front of me. I see a lot of playoff appearances in the future, and I know what I can bring to the table. I am confident in what I do and who I am, and when that time comes, I’ll be ready to go out and play to win.”

It's unclear where Stewart will play in the field for the Reds, but he has seen time at third base, second base, and first base with Triple-A Louisville.
