RHP Chase Petty
A few seasons after being acquired for Sonny Gray 1 for 1, Chase Petty is finally set to show off his dynamic arsenal after months of bullpens and pitch shaping. One thing you cannot take from Chase is his work ethic – he’s shown that to be one of his strengths. If he gets blown up in a game, he’s in the lab getting it figured out.
So far in 2025, Chase has been super efficient. He’s sporting a 3.25 ERA in 5 starts in AAA Louisville pitching 23.0 IP. He’d like to be getting more K’s, but he’s been serviceable, and that’s what you want. He’s still 22, and he’s been healthy, which is the biggest primer. He does have a 1.30 WHIP, so we’re going to need to hope he throws more quality strikes, but as of now he’s joining the Reds to make a spot start.
IF/DH Tyler Callihan
If you read this article on the site, you’d know we mentioned Tyler Callihan potentially getting the call to the bigs. Well, it’s rumored that’s coming with the Chase Petty news tomorrow. Tyler has been absolutely raking in AAA, and has also been really good on the basepaths, too, which we know to be important.
Callihan was a early top 100 pick by the Reds in their pivotal draft in 2019 (85th overall) and has been one of my favorite Reds prospects and it helps he’s been healthy…finally. In 89 ABs at Louisville, 24 year old Callihan is slashing .303/.410/.938 (OPS) and has 4 HRs to go with his 27 total hits. Per Fangraphs, he has a 155 wRC+. That’s a welcoming stick.
When/If the Reds announce Tyler Callihan’s recall from AAA Louisville, the corresponding move will likely be Jeimer Candelario to the IL. He “spoke up” about lower back tightness today, per Charlie Goldsmith via Terry Francona. Candy has been so bad, this is likely a ‘phantom’ IL and he can take some time to try to figure it out. He has $32,000,000 reasons to.
