SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Michael Toglia will
undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday on his right shoulder after he was
injured Friday making a diving catch against Arizona.
Manager Terry Francona made the announcement Monday before the opener of a
three-game series at San Francisco. Team orthopedist Dr. Tim Kremchek will
perform the surgery to repair a torn labrum and Toglia will do his
rehabilitation in San Diego to be close to family, Francona said.
The switch-hitting Toglia suffered a dislocated shoulder on the play in the
first inning of the 9-0 loss at Chase Field when, playing left field, he caught
the ball by Geraldo Perdomo.
"That kid, he swore he was going to play. I saw him in the training room the
next day, he was trying to do stuff," Francona said. "That's pretty amazing to
me."
Toglia was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, a move retroactive to
Saturday. The 28-year-old Toglia batted .115 with an RBI over 10 games with
eight starts. He was a top prospect with Colorado after the Rockies selected
him 23rd overall in the first round of the 2019 draft out of UCLA.
To fill the roster spot, the Reds brought up infielder/outfielder Ivan Johnson
from Triple-A Louisville.
