Zach Maxwell Recalled by Reds to Bolster Pitching Staff Depth

The Cincinnati Reds recalled reliever Zach Maxwell from the minor leagues on Thursday to bolster their pitching staff. Maxwell’s promotion comes in response to the team placing starter Brandon Williamson on the 15-day injured list with shoulder fatigue. The hard-throwing right-hander will provide much-needed depth to the Reds' bullpen as they manage a stretch of games with a depleted rotation. Maxwell will be expected to contribute immediately in high-leverage or middle-relief roles.
