Tyler Callihan DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cincinnati Reds infielder Tyler Callihan (forearm) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Callihan suffered a broken left forearm when he collided into the wall while trying to make a catch in the third inning. This is terrible news as Callihan is going to miss significant time from this injury. He got called up to the big leagues last week and was only playing in his fourth big league game before suffering this injury. The organization should give a timetable at a later time, but fantasy managers in redraft formats should probably go ahead and look for another option. Callihan isn't going to be in the lineup anytime soon, which is a shame considering he's a promising young player that could be a legitimate contributor on this roster.UPDATE: Callihan is expected to need surgery on his broken forearm.

The Cincinnati Reds have promoted infield prospect Tyler Callihan to the major league roster. Callihan will also get the starting nod during the first half of their doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals. Callihan is slated to bat in the nine-hole and cover the keystone. The former third-round pick has enjoyed an impressive start to the Triple-A regular season and is being rewarded with an early MLB debut. Through 24 games, Callihan has posted a strong .303/.410/.528 slash line with four doubles, four home runs, and six stolen bases. The 24-year-old needed just 30 career games at the Triple-A level to prove he was ready for the big leagues. Fantasy managers should monitor his production as he could find a short-term role in the big leagues with Jeimer Candelario (spine), who hit the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. However, he is best to fade in DFS in his MLB debut.

Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Tyler Callihan went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run during Wednesday's contest. This was Callihan's third home run of the season and third double. In this game, he also tallied two RBI and scored a run. Through the first 10 games of the regular season, Callihan has enjoyed a strong start with the Louisville Bats, posting a stellar .317/.417/.610 slash line. He has posted four multi-hit games and hit at least one extra-base hit in four games. The 24-year-old spent most of the 2024 campaign with Double-A before receiving a brief taste of Triple-A. At Double-A, the former third-round pick held a .271/.345/.413 line. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production at Triple-A as he should be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut.
