The Cincinnati Reds have faced a setback as Tyler Callihan, their promising left fielder, underwent successful surgery to repair a broken arm after colliding with a wall in a game against the Braves. The injury, which involved fractures to both bones in his forearm, occurred during only his fourth major league game. Manager Terry Francona indicated that recovery will take approximately six to eight weeks, allowing Callihan to potentially return later in the season.

Callihan, who had recently transitioned from infield to outfield, displayed remarkable determination post-surgery, sending encouragement to his teammates via text. The Reds will need to adapt in his absence but remain hopeful given the prognosis.
