Tyler Callihan, a rookie infielder/outfielder for the Reds, suffered a left forearm fracture during a game against Atlanta. The injury occurred when he collided with the wall while attempting to catch a fly ball from Matt Olson. This marks a tough break for the young player, who had just been called up to the majors last week and had recorded his first hit and RBI. As he goes on the injured list, the Reds will plan for his lengthy absence, and his position will be managed by other players on the roster.
Callihan suffered the gruesome injury while he was playing left field. He tracked a Matt Olson fly ball that sliced down the line.
It's immediately apparent that he'd suffered a significant injury. Olson came around to score on an inside-the-park home run after Callihan understandably dropped the ball in pain.
Callihan will at least collect major league pay and service time during what figures to be a long injured list stint.
He'll go on the major league IL and should end up on the 60-day injured list once the Reds need to open a 40-man roster spot.
