“He’s such a happy kid. You feel terrible to him,” said Reds Manager Terry Francona after the 4-0 loss.
Callihan needed to do what would have been an entry prison in the third on a fluff ball from bats of Braves first Baseman Matt Olson. After briefly catching the catch, Callihan crashed onto the wall in poor territory along the left field line.
He rolled on the ground in pain. The ball fell out of his glove, which he immediately threw, grabbing his arm.

Reds Kickoff 2025 MLB season with historically low after losing three consecutive 1-0 matches
When Callihan became a tendency and eventually Olson, Olson circled the bases, uncertain about the call, resulting in a two-race, home drive inside the park.
The play was challenged by the reds. A review confirmed that the ball was touched on fair territory and Callihan did not have control over it long enough for a catch.
“There’s no good way to explain it,” Francona said. “The children are driving fully and trying to do everything he can to save running.”

Monday night was Callihan’s fourth MLB game. Braves manager Brian cuts empathy with him and wanted Rookie a quick recovery.
“I hate it for the child,” said Snitker. “He just puts it out there for his club. … Hopefully it’s something they can put and heal well and he can continue with his career.”
