Julian Aguiar Undergoes Tommy John Surgery; Reds Fire Three Hitting Coaches

Reds right-hander Julian Aguiar's Tommy John surgery will sideline him for the entire 2025 season, impacting his development as a pitching prospect.

Aguiar made his MLB debut this year but struggled with a 6.25 ERA over seven starts, ultimately requiring Tommy John surgery after an elbow sprain.

The Reds have dismissed three coaches, including hitting coach Joel McKeithan, following a disappointing offensive performance this season.

Despite the setback, Aguiar is still regarded as one of the Reds' top pitching prospects, with Baseball America ranking him #9.
