Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Getting back on track
Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
Reynolds continues to have an inconsistent season, though he did perform well across the Pirates' nine-game homestand that ended Sunday. In total, he went 11-for-37 with five doubles, five RBI and seven runs scored. Reynolds still has just a .665 OPS across 100 games for the campaign, the lowest mark of his career except 2020.

Tyler Callihan RF | PIT
Reds' Tyler Callihan: Likely done for season
Reds manager Terry Francona said July 10 that Callihan (forearm) recently had surgery on his left wrist and isn't expected to return from the 60-day injured list this season, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Callihan had been on the shelf since May 6 after suffering two broken bones in his left forearm a day earlier, when he crashed into an outfield wall while pursing a flyball. He underwent surgery shortly after that incident, but he had been cleared to resume light baseball activities about a month later. Unfortunately for Callihan, his wrist had been bothering him during his ramp-up process, and after consulting with a doctor in New York, he elected to have another follow-up surgery. Callihan should be back to full health for spring training and will look to compete for a utility role with the Reds in camp.

Dylan Crews RF | WAS
Nationals' Dylan Crews: Ready for rehab assignment
Crews (oblique) will report to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The 23-year-old has been on the shelf more than two months due to an oblique strain, but he's entering the final stage of his rehab program. Given how long he's been sidelined, Crews will likely require at least a handful of games in the minors before being cleared to rejoin the Nationals.
