Overview

  • Tyler Callihan broke his left forearm in a collision with the outfield wall while attempting a sliding catch in his fourth MLB game on May 5.
  • Replay review confirmed the ball was not securely caught, resulting in Matt Olson's two-run inside-the-park home run during the Reds' 4-0 loss to the Braves.
  • Callihan underwent successful surgery on May 6 to repair fractures in both forearm bones, with a plate inserted to stabilize the injury.
  • The Reds placed Callihan on the 10-day injured list, and he is expected to refrain from baseball activities for 6–8 weeks, potentially returning later this season.
  • The Reds made roster adjustments following the injury, recalling outfielder Jacob Hurtubise and pitcher Lyon Richardson from Triple-A Louisville.
