Tyler Callihan has been called up to the Cincinnati Reds from the Triple-A Louisville Bats, marking a significant milestone in his career. The 24-year-old third-round draft pick from 2019 expressed his excitement and shared how quickly his family arranged to see him play against the St. Louis Cardinals. Manager Terry Francona immediately placed him in the lineup as a left fielder, emphasizing Callihan's versatility in playing multiple positions.

Callihan's performance in Triple-A has been impressive, boasting a .303 batting average with four home runs in 24 games. His addition comes at a crucial time as Austin Hays deals with a minor hamstring issue. Francona is managing Hays' injury cautiously, aiming to keep him off the injured list while also working to keep the team's lineup strong. The Reds are navigating injuries to key players and are hopeful about Callihan’s contributions as they face the Cardinals.
