Reds manager Terry Francona said July 10 that Callihan (forearm) recently had surgery on his left wrist and isn't expected to return from the 60-day injured list this season, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Callihan had been on the shelf since May 6 after suffering two broken bones in his left forearm a day earlier, when he crashed into an outfield wall while pursing a flyball. He underwent surgery shortly after that incident, but he had been cleared to resume light baseball activities about a month later. Unfortunately for Callihan, his wrist had been bothering him during his ramp-up process, and after consulting with a doctor in New York, he elected to have another follow-up surgery. Callihan should be back to full health for spring training and will look to compete for a utility role with the Reds in camp.

Pham went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Pham briefly looked to be losing his role in the outfield to Jack Suwinski, but Sunday marked his fifth straight start. He has at least one knock in each of those contests and has a seven-game hitting streak in total. In that span, Pham has gone 10-for-25 with three doubles, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored.

Gorman (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gorman's back responded well to a pain-killing injection, and he has been cleared for rehab games. The infielder has been sidelined for just under two weeks, so he could be ready to rejoin the Cardinals' active roster later this week. What Gorman's role looks like upon his return might depend on what additions and subtractions the Cardinals make to their roster ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Saturday that Spiers will require season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Spiers had been in the midst of a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville while working his way back from a shoulder impingement, but he was pulled off the assignment about a week ago after experiencing soreness in his right biceps. He underwent a couple of MRIs since then, and a second opinion confirmed that Tommy John surgery was necessary. No date has been set for Spiers' procedure, but the surgery will be performed by renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister. In addition to missing the remainder of the season, Spiers will be at risk of missing the entire 2026 campaign as well.

Miley (forearm) has increased his throwing distance off flat ground to 120 feet, MLB.com reports.

Miley, who was placed on the 15-day injured list June 20 due to a left flexor strain, has been working his way through a throwing program. He's expected to throw off a mound in a bullpen session Friday.

Del Castillo started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Pirates.

Del Castillo continued to be a lineup regular at DH against right-handed starters (Paul Skenes on Sunday). He doesn't have one plate appearance against a southpaw. His playing time could take a hit when Pavin Smith (oblique) returns, but a healthy Smith might be needed to handle first base. Additionally, the Diamondbacks are clearly sellers heading into the trade deadline, which suggests the organization may give developmental plate appearances to prospects like Del Castillo over the final two months.

English went 1-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Pirates.

English logged his first hit in the majors when he laced a third-inning double off Pittsburgh right-hander Paul Skenes. English has started at first base in all three games since the Diamondbacks traded Josh Naylor last Thursday.

Abrams went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, three stolen bases and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 7-2 win over Minnesota.

Abrams delivered a leadoff homer off Cole Sands in the first inning and followed it up by swiping a trio of bases throughout the remainder of the contest. It was his first three-steal game of the season and the sixth of his career. Since the All-Star break, Abrams is 6-for-37 with nine Ks, but he's hit two homers and three doubles during that stretch. He's up to 14 homers and 23 stolen bases on the year.

Irvin (8-5) picked up the win Sunday against Minnesota, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out two.

Irvin hadn't pitched into the seventh inning in his previous 10 starts, and Sunday's outing tied his fewest runs allowed during that stretch. Irvin hadn't had a start without a walk since June 21. In 126.2 innings this season, Irvin has a 4.69 ERA and an 86:41 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling next weekend against Milwaukee.

Henriquez blew the save Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.

Henriquez took the mound for the eighth inning and yielded ground-rule doubles to Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn, the second of which plated the game-tying run. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been the primary members of Miami's closing committee of late, and it doesn't appear that either has pulled ahead. Henriquez has allowed a run in three of his last four appearances, and his ERA stands at 3.06 after 50 innings this season.
