Jay Bruce is back. Juan Francisco is up.

From Mark Sheldon.

"Jay Bruce is back. Juan Francisco is up."

The back of Jay Bruce is a great news. He needs to come back and gets some at-bats in the show.

But the surprise is the second one. Juan Francisco is called up. I don't think people expect that. It's a great news. Let's see one of Reds top prospects can do in the show.

In 131 games combined with Double-A Carolina and Louisville, Francisco batted .295 with 31 homers and 93 RBIs. He showed no signs of adjustment issues in AAA -- he batted .359 with five homers and 17 RBIs in 22 games.
