Agular is expected to piggyback off Chase Burns' start on Friday. Agular has made 16 starts between Triple-A and High-A this year, but he has not pitched in the bigs. The 25-year-old righty did make seven starts for the Reds back in 2024, pitching to a 6.25 ERA across 31 2/3 innings.
Aguiar has recovered from Tommy John surgery and is now healthy. Cincinnati optioned him to minor-league camp on Friday.

He will open the 2026 season with Triple-A Louisville's rotation.
Julian Aguiar is scheduled to have bullpen sessions in Cincinnati on Tuesday and Sunday.

The Reds placed Julian Aguiar on the 60-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
The Reds needed to open a roster spot with the signing of Scott Barlow. Aguiar is set to miss the whole season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
