Might 6: The Reds positioned Callihan on the 10-day IL in the present day and optioned right-hander Yosver Zulueta. They recalled outfielder Jacob Hurtubise and righty Lyon Richardson in corresponding strikes.
Might 5: The Reds introduced that rookie infielder/outfielder Tyler Callihan suffered a left forearm fracture in tonight’s recreation in opposition to Atlanta. He’s clearly in for a long-term absence.
Callihan suffered the ugly harm whereas he was enjoying left discipline. He tracked a Matt Olson fly ball that sliced down the road. Callihan, a right-handed thrower, reached up for the ball together with his glove hand. He went right into a slide and was unable to keep away from crashing into the wall with restricted foul territory. His outstretched left arm took the brunt of the collision. It was instantly obvious that he’d suffered a big harm. (Olson got here round to attain on an inside-the-park house run after Callihan understandably dropped the ball in ache.)
The 24-year-old Callihan simply obtained his first main league name final week. He got here as much as function a left-handed hitting bench bat when Jeimer Candelario went on the injured record. He recorded his first MLB hit and RBI with a base knock in opposition to Washington’s Trevor Williams on Saturday. He’s 1-6 with a strikeout in 4 video games.
Callihan will at the very least acquire main league pay and repair time throughout what figures to be an extended injured record stint. He’ll go on the most important league IL and may find yourself on the 60-day injured record as soon as the Reds must open a 40-man roster spot. Gavin Lux, who began at designated hitter tonight, will proceed getting the vast majority of enjoying time in left discipline. Blake Dunn got here off the bench to deal with the place this night.
