Reds' Tyler Callihan: Suffers fractured forearm
Rotowire
Callihan has been diagnosed with a fractured left forearm after exiting Monday's game against Atlanta.
Callihan was removed from Monday's matchup against Atlanta early after crashing hard into the outfield wall. He's presumably looking at a lengthy absence given the severity of the injury, but the club is unlikely to have a timetable for his return until later on in his recovery. Skipper Terry Francona noted after the game that Callihan is headed back to Cincinnati to schedule surgery, per Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Logs first MLB hit
Rotowire
Callihan started in left field and went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Nationals.
Callihan got the start against a right-hander and recorded his first hit in the majors. With Austin Hays (hamstring) on the injured list for the second time this season, the lefty-hitting Callihan could get an occasional start. Gavin Lux, who served as the designated hitter Saturday, should get most of the starts against righties in Hays' absence.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Receives first MLB call-up
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. He'll start in left field and bat ninth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.
He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (spine), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old had gotten off to a nice start to the season at Louisville, slashing .303/.410/.528 with four home runs and six stolen bases over 106 plate appearances. Callihan is capable of playing three infield spots as well as left field, but his left-handedness could work against him in earning meaningful playing time, as he won't represent a viable platoon mate for fellow lefty hitters Jake Fraley and Gavin Lux.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Sent to minor-league camp
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Callihan to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Callihan was added to the 40-man roster in November, but given that he has only four games of experience above the Double-A level in addition to the fact that Cincinnati is well stocked in the infield, he never looked like a serious threat to break camp with the big club. The 24-year-old will likely spend the majority of the season at Louisville after slashing .271/.345/.413 with eight home runs and 21 steals over his 282 plate appearances at Double-A Chattanooga in 2024.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Added to 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Reds selected Callihan's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Callihan has only played four games above Double-A, so he probably won't be up in the majors early this season, but he had a strong showing last year in the upper minors. A utility player who moves between second base, left field and first base, Callihan slashed .276/.359/.429 with nine home runs and 22 steals in 73 games, primarily at Double-A.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Out following Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Callihan is recovering from Tommy John surgery, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.
The 21-year-old infielder had an impressive start to the season with Low-A Daytona, hitting .299/.351/.437 with two home runs, five steals and a 13:8 K:BB in 99 plate appearances. He last played on June 1, so he presumably had the surgery in June. Given that he is a position player, Callihan could be ready for spring training next season.
