The Reds recalled Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. He'll start in left field and bat ninth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (spine), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old had gotten off to a nice start to the season at Louisville, slashing .303/.410/.528 with four home runs and six stolen bases over 106 plate appearances. Callihan is capable of playing three infield spots as well as left field, but his left-handedness could work against him in earning meaningful playing time, as he won't represent a viable platoon mate for fellow lefty hitters Jake Fraley and Gavin Lux.

Acuna went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Acuna notched his second straight multi-hit game Tuesday with singles in the second and third innings, and he came around to score both times. He added his seventh steal of the season and is far and away the Mets' leading base stealer. The 23-year-old has held his own through the first month of the season, hitting .300/.355/.371 with five extra-base hits, three RBI, 13 runs and a 6:14 BB:K in 76 plate appearances.

The Reds plan to recall Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After starting the Triple-A season with a .303/.410/.528 slash line alongside four homers, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases through 106 plate appearances, Callihan will join the big-league club to provide Cincinnati with some depth at second base and left field. With Jeimer Candelario (back) and Austin Hays (hamstring) both currently dealing with injuries, Callihan's impending promotion seemingly indicates a move to the IL for at least one of the two players.

The Padres placed McCoy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained finger on his left hand.

McCoy is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts since being recalled from Triple-A on April 21, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 days before getting another chance to record his first big-league hit of the season. Luis Arraez (concussion) will return from the injured list Tuesday to make up for the loss of McCoy in San Diego's infield.

Fitzgerald (chest) will start at second base and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Padres, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

A chest contusion has prevented Fitzgerald from playing in either of the Giants' last two games, but he seems to have fully recovered ahead of Tuesday's contest. The 27-year-old has slashed .294/.351/.412 over the past two weeks, though he is hitless in his last seven trips to the plate.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

With lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on the bump for the Diamondbacks, McNeil will take a seat. In three games since returning from the injured list, McNeil has already seen action at second base and in center and right field. Luisangel Acuna is starting at second Tuesday.

Stott is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

With left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound for the Nationals, Stott will come off the bench Tuesday. Edmundo Sosa is getting the nod at second base and batting seventh.

Amador is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Amador will come off the bench for the second time in the last three days. Since being recalled from Triple-A earlier this month, Amador is slashing .219/.286/.406 with three doubles, one home run, three RBI and two runs scored across 36 plate appearances. Kyle Farmer is getting the nod at second base and batting seventh versus AJ Smith-Shawver.

Frazier is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

It's southpaw Shota Imanaga on the bump for the Cubs, so the left-handed-hitting Frazier will grab a seat. Jared Triolo will play second base and bat eighth for the Pirates.

Estrada (wrist) has resumed fielding drills and light swinging of the bat, MLB.com reports.

Estrada fractured his wrist late in spring training and was recently shifted to the 60-day injured list. This progress is positive news, but he'll be sidelined until at least late May.
