Reds rookie Tyler Callihan injures arm trying for catch on inside-the-park home
run

ATLANTA (AP) --- Cincinnati Reds rookie left fielder Tyler Callihan appeared to
suffer a serious injury to his left arm while attempting a sliding catch
against the Atlanta Braves on a play that turned into an inside-the-park home
run Monday night.
With two outs in the third inning, Callihan was chasing down a fly ball from
Matt Olson and briefly made the grab before crashing hard into the padded wall
in foul territory along the left-field line. After he hit the wall, the ball
fell out of Callihan's glove as he rolled onto his back in pain and grabbed his
left arm.
Reds fielders momentarily stopped, unsure if Callihan made the catch or if the
ball was foul. Austin Riley scored from first base and Olson circled the bases
at half speed, not sure of the ruling.
Callihan was attended to by Reds athletic trainers and walked back to the
dugout and clubhouse holding his left arm.
The play was reviewed and replay confirmed the ball was touched in fair
territory and Callihan did not have control of it long enough to constitute a
catch. Olson's home run gave the Braves a 4-0 lead.
Callihan was playing in his fourth major league game after making his debut
last week.
