Not all efforts are rewarded in baseball, Tyler Callahan learned this on Monday night in Atlanta.
Playing in left field, Callahan tracked down a fly ball off the bat of Mat Olson to make a spectacular running catch, as it initially appeared. Problem was, moments after making the snag, Callahan collided with the wall in foul territory down the left field line at Truist Park.
The collision knocked the ball free and Olson, who never stopped running, earned an inside-the-park home run.
Reds manager Terry Francona immediately signaled for a challenge, but the review confirmed the call on the field. Callahan walked off the field with the trainer during that review and was replaced by Blake Dunn.
The Reds await official word on Callihan’s injury, but his arm took a big hit to his arm as you’ll see on the replay.
