Seth Varner jumps straight from Daytona to Louisville, without even an appearance in Pensacola? Yikes. Mike Leake skipper minors all together. Jose Acevedo went from AA to MLB if I remember right.

Seth Varner is org filler, this is what clubs do with org filler - they are assigned to replace injured players.

It's a move that definitely reinforces Seth Varner's status as organizational filler, since you wouldn't ask a serious project to make such a jump.
Leake is a pretty unique case, skipping the minors entirely.
Highly regarded prospects being promoted straight from AA, following some success there, to MLB is fairly common. It doesn't always happen, but happens plenty of times - Michael Conforto last year comes to mind. Seeing top prospects jump directly from A ball to AAA is uncommon. Between A, A+, AA, and AAA... I suspect advanced A ball and AA are the least likely stops to be skipped on the road to the majors, with AAA being the most common stop to be skipped.

Carlten Daal was the #28 ranked prospect by MLBPipeline (but probably due to rise next time they update the list), and one of the highest regarded shortstop in the system after Peraza... maybe tied with, maybe behind Blake Trahan. Daal is 22, a good defensive shortstop, and has hit .310 this year in AA. Daal has put up the best numbers of his career this year, although he's already missed roughly half of the first-half. Seeing him go back on the DL is disappointing.
Daal is probably a glove-first middle infielder with no power but I think it's too soon - based on his numbers this season - to rule out the possibility of him putting together a career in MLB as a utility player.
Rogers and Diaz? Who cares.

Recalled to MLB Cincinnati from AAA Louisville: 1B/OF Kyle Waldrop
---Since last being optioned on June 24th Waldrop had 18 hits in 54 at bats with AAA Louisville (.333 AVG).
Optioned to AAA Louisville from MLB Cincinnati: LHSP John Lamb
---Lamb is 1-7 with a 6.43 ERA in 14 starts this season, and 0-4 with an 8.44 ERA in his last seven starts -- including nine homers allowed in his last 32 innings pitched. In his most recent start he allowed a career-high nine earned runs over two-plus innings while earning a loss to the Brewers.
Lamb is averaging just 89 mph this year on his fastball and his offspeed stuff is not good enough to compensate for the lack of velocity.
Because of an off-day on Thursday, the spot could be skipped and the other four starters could work on regular rest. However, Price generally likes to utilize those off-days to provide his starters extra rest. At Louisville, Robert Stephenson, the Reds' top pitching prospect, is starting on Sunday and could pitch against the D-backs on Friday on his regular rest. Stephenson, who has already made two spot starts in the big leagues this season, has been prone to walks in recent outings for Louisville, however.

Stephenson hasn't thrown strikes and a stint in the majors is likely to be ugly, but it's about that time that he needs to put up or shut up (meaning, prove he is a starter).

---The 23 year old Dominican received the short straw from the Nationals. He has a 3.42 ERA in 371 minor league innings with 324 H's, 117 BB's, and 378 K's. He has 6 days of mlb service time from the 2015 season and is burning his 2nd option year.
