Reds Call Up Michael Toglia and Activate Nick Lodolo

The Cincinnati Reds announced on Tuesday the selection of Michael Toglia's contract from Triple-A Louisville and the activation of pitcher Nick Lodolo from the 15-day injured list. To accommodate Toglia, the team transferred Hunter Greene to the 60-day injured list as he prepares for UCL surgery and optioned Zach McCambley and Ivan Johnson to Triple-A.

This marks Toglia's first season with the Reds after being acquired on a minor league deal. The 27-year-old switch-hitter, previously a first-round pick by the Rockies, has demonstrated significant power in the minors, hitting .273 with 22 home runs in 402 plate appearances this season. His strikeout rate has improved slightly compared to his major league career average.

Lodolo, who has been sidelined for a month due to blister issues, had shown promise before his injury, boasting a 1.35 ERA in his last four starts. His return is crucial for the Reds as they navigate injuries within their pitching staff, particularly with Greene out for the remainder of the season.
