Cincinnati Reds Promote Chase Petty, Tyler Callihan for MLB Debuts

The Cincinnati Reds are reportedly set to promote two top prospects, right-handed pitcher Chase Petty and versatile position player Tyler Callihan, from Triple-A Louisville for upcoming games against the St. Louis Cardinals. Petty, the Reds' sixth-ranked prospect, has posted a 3.52 ERA and 27 strikeouts over 23 innings in five starts this season, and will make his MLB debut as the designated 27th man in a doubleheader. Callihan, who has played multiple infield and outfield positions, boasts a .303 batting average and .938 OPS in 24 games this season and is also expected to make his big-league debut. The promotions are seen as significant moves for the Reds as both players are regarded highly within the organization and have performed well in the minors. These roster changes come as the Reds aim to strengthen their lineup and pitching rotation for a critical series. Official confirmation from the club was pending at the time of the reports.
