Papierski was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Papierski was claimed off waivers from the Giants over the weekend and will now receive his first big-league opportunity for his new organization. The 26-year-old will step into the No. 2 role behind the plate as Aramis Garcia serves as Cincinnati's primary catcher in the absence of Tyler Stephenson (thumb).
