ATLANTA (AP) — Cincinnati Reds rookie left fielder Tyler Callihan is expected to miss at least two months following surgery Tuesday to repair his fractured left forearm suffered while attempting a sliding catch a night earlier.
Reds manager Terry Francona said Callihan will have no baseball activities for six to eight weeks but has not been ruled out for the season.
“It's actually kind of remarkable,” Francona said, adding that “everything came out like it was supposed to” in the surgery, which was performed in Cincinnati.
Callihan's attempted catch turned into an inside-the-park home run for Matt Olson in the Reds' 4-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
Callihan was playing in his fourth major league game after making his debut last week.
The Reds placed him on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The team optioned right-hander Yosver Zulueta to Triple-A Louisville. Outfielder Jacob Hurtubise and right-hander Lyon Richardson were recalled from Louisville.
Also, right-hander Rhett Lowder (right forearm strain) began a rehabilitation assignment.
Utility player Santiago Espinal initially was listed as the Reds' starter in left field in Tuesday night's game against the Braves. Minutes before the first pitch, third baseman Noelvi Marte was scratched with discomfort in his left side and Espinal was moved to third base.
Spencer Steer moved from first base to left field and Austin Wynns moved into the lineup at first base. TJ Friedl started in center field with Blake Dunn in right field.

OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 15, 2025--
Assent Inc. (Assent), the global leader in supply chain sustainability management, announces Request Manager, the industry’s first AI-native solution that addresses the critical pain point of how suppliers efficiently manage and respond to customer compliance and sustainability requests. Built on the market-leading Assent Sustainability Platform, Request Manager empowers suppliers to deliver accurate, high-quality regulatory data, declarations, and supporting documentation with greater speed and efficiency through a single, streamlined workflow to reduce management effort, lower compliance costs, and mitigate supply chain risk. The solution will launch for new Assent customers in January 2026.

Request Manager enables suppliers to manage all customer requests in one centralized location through AI-powered parsing, matching and re-use of verified data, as well as a proactive declaration sharing function that allows suppliers to anticipate customer requests.
“Request Manager represents a breakthrough in how suppliers and distributors can stay ahead of escalating compliance expectations. It transforms a historically fragmented process by harnessing the data already embedded in the Assent Sustainability Platform to deliver speed, time savings, and scale,” said Michael Southworth, CEO of Assent. “As we extend our offering to the broader supply chain, this marks a pivotal moment for Assent — a new standard for supplier engagement that enables proactive compliance and helps create a more connected and resilient network where organizations can respond with confidence to reduce risk.”
Regulatory frameworks are in constant flux and are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, manufacturers and distributors face an unsustainable volume of customer requests. Additionally, supplier contracts now include greater obligations that can disqualify those who fall short. Request Manager is Assent’s answer to this industry-wide breaking point: a secure, centralized hub that unifies all compliance and sustainability requests into one streamlined workflow.
Assent research shows that 80% of businesses still rely on email and fragmented spreadsheets to manage the growing volume of compliance requests. The data also revealed manufacturers receive an average of 350 requests per year, while distributors often face thousands, each of which may contain hundreds of part-and-regulation line items that must be interpreted and completed. With each request taking roughly three hours to complete, many manufacturers spend more than 1,000 hours a year on manual compliance and sustainability request management processes.
Elisa Morelo, Senior Analyst at Verdantix, highlighted the need for a solution dedicated to suppliers, “The surge in the volume and complexity of compliance requests is putting intense pressure on suppliers to deliver high-quality data in a timely manner. We believe AI can play an extremely important role in this category in terms of helping suppliers manage the scale of requests and reducing supplier fatigue, as well as streamlining manual processes and improving data quality.”
With Request Manager, suppliers will be able to:
“My team depends on me to never miss a deadline or customer request, but with our previous process, the volume of requests we received each day was overwhelming,” said Jessica Adams, Quality Technician at Durex Industries. “Quick and accurate responses are essential to maintaining our commercial relationships. Since implementing Assent’s Request Manager solution, all the information my team and I need is in one place. I can respond faster and with greater confidence, and I’m able to focus on other critical parts of my job.”
