The Reds plan to recall Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After starting the Triple-A season with a .303/.410/.528 slash line alongside four homers, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases through 106 plate appearances, Callihan will join the big-league club to provide Cincinnati with some depth at second base and left field. With Jeimer Candelario (back) and Austin Hays (hamstring) both currently dealing with injuries, Callihan's impending promotion seemingly indicates a move to the IL for at least one of the two players.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Sent to minor-league camp
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Callihan to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Callihan was added to the 40-man roster in November, but given that he has only four games of experience above the Double-A level in addition to the fact that Cincinnati is well stocked in the infield, he never looked like a serious threat to break camp with the big club. The 24-year-old will likely spend the majority of the season at Louisville after slashing .271/.345/.413 with eight home runs and 21 steals over his 282 plate appearances at Double-A Chattanooga in 2024.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Added to 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Reds selected Callihan's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Callihan has only played four games above Double-A, so he probably won't be up in the majors early this season, but he had a strong showing last year in the upper minors. A utility player who moves between second base, left field and first base, Callihan slashed .276/.359/.429 with nine home runs and 22 steals in 73 games, primarily at Double-A.
Callihan (elbow) made his season debut with Single-A Daytona on Tuesday, starting at second base in the team's 2-0 win over Dunedin while going 1-for-2 with a two-run home run.
Calihan was sidelined for just under a year while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old didn't take long to make an impact in his return, as he swatted the home run in his first at-bat of the day.

Reds' Tyler Callihan: Out following Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Callihan is recovering from Tommy John surgery, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.
The 21-year-old infielder had an impressive start to the season with Low-A Daytona, hitting .299/.351/.437 with two home runs, five steals and a 13:8 K:BB in 99 plate appearances. He last played on June 1, so he presumably had the surgery in June. Given that he is a position player, Callihan could be ready for spring training next season.
