The Cincinnati Reds have placed Jeimer Candelario on the 10-day injured list due to a lumbar spine strain. This setback comes after a sluggish start to the season, where Candelario has struggled offensively, hitting just .113 with 10 RBIs over his first month. The Reds have called up Tyler Callihan from Triple-A Louisville and added pitcher Chase Petty to their taxi squad as they prepare for their upcoming doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Candelario, who signed a lucrative three-year, $45 million contract last year, has a career batting average of .237 and has hit over 100 home runs in his ten-year tenure in Major League Baseball. The Reds will need to find a way to cope without his contributions as they aim to turn around their season.
