Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Julian Aguiar (note: sources reference both "Tayler Aguilar" and "Julian Aguiar" - appears to be the same player) was placed on Triple-A Louisville's 7-day injured list on April 9, 2026 due to an unspecified injury. Aguiar missed the entire 2025 season recovering from Tommy John surgery (October 11, 2024) but received medical clearance for spring training. He earned a spot in Louisville's rotation and posted a 9.28 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, and 12:8 K:BB ratio over 10.2 innings across three starts before being shelved. He remains on the Reds' 40-man roster but is buried deep on the organization's starting pitching depth chart. With nearly a month out of action, his near-term contribution to the major league club is unlikely.
