Promising results in MLB debut
Burns took a no-decision Tuesday against the Yankees, giving up three runs on six hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis
The rookie right-hander showed plenty of promise in his major-league debut, generating 12 whiffs and touching 100 mph with his fastball twice. Burns also notably became the second Reds pitcher since 1920 to strike out the side in the first inning of his MLB debut in the process, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, but the Yankees were able to tag him for three runs in the fourth frame. His next turn in Cincinnati's rotation tentatively projects for next week in Boston, and Burns figures to stick around in the big leagues at least until Hunter Greene (groin/back) is ready to return.

Called up, will start Tuesday
Cincinnati selected Burns' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Analysis
The Reds had already announced Monday that Burns had arrived in Cincinnati and was set to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees, but the team waited a day to make his call-up official. Regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, Burns reached the big leagues after blazing through three levels of the minors this season. Over stops with High-A Dayton, Double-A Chattanooga and Louisville, Burns turned in a 1.77 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 89:13 K:BB in 66 innings across 13 starts. While the Reds are likely to keep a close eye on the 22-year-old's workload over the rest of the season, he possesses the skill set to make a big splash in the majors right away. The Reds optioned reliever Yosver Zulueta to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Burns.
