Reds’ Tyler Callihan
Gruesome Injury In Left Field
Published
Tough break for Reds rookie Tyler Callihan … he snapped his arm while trying to make a diving catch Monday night — and video of the play is tough to watch.
The gruesome scene unfolded in the third inning of Cincinnati’s matchup with the Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta … when Matt Olson blasted a deep fly ball to left field.

Callihan sprinted from his position to try to track it down … and while he was initially able to secure it — it popped free after he fractured his arm running into a nearby wall.
Trainers quickly raced out to tend to the 24-year-old … and the game was paused momentarily as they helped him off the field.
Callihan was ultimately diagnosed with a broken forearm — and Cincinnati posted on its X page late Monday night they were wishing him “a speedy recovery.”

To add insult to injury, Olson circled the bases for a two-run, inside-the-park homer after Callihan dropped the ball … and the Braves ultimately won, 4-0.
Cincy will get another crack at the Braves in Game 2 of their series on Tuesday afternoon … though it’ll be at least a few months before Callihan gets his redemption shot.
Get well soon!!
