Michael Toglia To Undergo Shoulder Surgery
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Reds first baseman/outfielder Michael Toglia will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery due to a labrum tear and dislocation sustained during a diving catch attempt on August 18.
- Toglia was injured while playing left field against the Diamondbacks and was immediately removed from the game, subsequently being placed on the injured list.
- After a strong Triple-A season, Toglia was called up to the Reds on August 11 but struggled offensively, hitting 2-for-26 with 12 strikeouts in 10 MLB games.
- Previously with the Rockies, Toglia was non-tendered last offseason and signed a minor league deal with Cincinnati; he is likely to remain on the injured list for the rest of the season.
- The Reds may transfer Toglia to the 60-day injured list to free a roster spot and could place him on waivers in the offseason, potentially leading to another minor league contract.
