Reds Utility Player Undergoing Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery
The Cincinnati Reds will be without one of their players for the rest of the year, as Michael Toglia is having shoulder surgery.
Cincinnati Reds utility player Michael Toglia is set to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. The 28-year-old sustained the injury while making a diving catch against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Toglia's season concluded on a disappointing note, particularly given his recent call-up to the major league roster.
Before his injury, he had appeared in 10 games for the Reds, batting .115 with no home runs and a single RBI. Prior to joining the Reds, Toglia had an impressive 2025 season with the Colorado Rockies, hitting 11 home runs, driving in 32 runs, and batting .190 in 88 games. In 97 Triple-A games with Louisville, he delivered 22 home runs, 65 RBI, and a .273 batting average.
Over his five-year MLB career, Toglia has compiled 42 home runs, 109 RBI, and a .198 batting average in 290 games. His best season thus far came in 2024 when he hit 25 home runs, drove in 55 runs, and posted a .218 batting average in 116 games.
