Reds' Michael Toglia to undergo season-ending surgery. Here's why
Cincinnati Reds IF/OF Toglia was injured making a diving catch against the Arizona Diamondbacks. An MRI on Monday, Aug. 24, revealed what happened.
San Francisco – Michael Toglia, the Reds infielder/outfielder, will undergo season-ending surgery after an MRI scan revealed a labrum tear in his shoulder, according to reports on August 24. Toglia had initially shocked his team when he attempted to participate in pregame activities the day after dislocating his shoulder. Manager Terry Francona expressed shock at the young player's determination, stating, "Makes you do a double-take.
Damn, man, that kid, he swore he was gonna play. When I saw him in the trainer's room the next day, he was trying to do stuff. That's pretty amazing to me." The injury occurred during a diving catch in left field during the first inning of the Reds' series opener against Phoenix. Toglia was subsequently removed from the game. Following the surgery, the Reds brought back infielder/outfielder Ivan Johnson from the injured list to replace Toglia on the roster.
