CINCINNATI — Reds outfielder Tyler Callihan suffered a broken forearm in Monday night's 4-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

It was a gruesome injury. Callihan made a diving attempt to catch a fly ball—and most would say he caught it—before slamming into the left field wall.

His arm hit awkwardly against the wall. It's one of the ugliest injuries you'll see for an outfielder.

Does this mean he's out for the rest of the season?

Dr. David Chao believes that there's a chance that Callihan can return this season. He noted that both of Callihan's forearm bones were broken and that he'll need surgery, but there's at least a chance that the 24-year-old can play again this season.
