Matt Olson's Inside-The-Park Homer Sparks Debate After Scary Injury
Matt Olson isn't exactly known for his wheels. The Braves slugging first baseman has made a career punishing baseballs into the seats, not legging out hustle plays. But Monday night at Truist Park, Olson delivered one of the most surprising moments of the 2025 MLB season—a two-run inside-the-park home run. It was the first of Olson's career, and just the second in the ballpark's nine-year history. It made him the 14th player in franchise history to record one—and only the third ever to do so in Atlanta. Advertisement But the celebration was quickly overshadowed. Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Callihan suffered what appeared to be a significant left arm or wrist injury while diving for the ball. As Olson sprinted around the bases, Callihan remained on the ground in visible pain, prompting immediate concern. Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson (28) gets out of the way of a pitch against the Cincinnati Reds in the first inning at Truist Davis-Imagn Images The moment sparked a heated online debate. Some fans expressed discomfort watching Olson complete the play while Callihan writhed in pain, with one writing, 'I would've loved to see Olson pull up at second so Callihan could get treatment.' Others defended Olson's decision, noting that players are taught from the earliest levels to run until told to stop. Advertisement 'You run until the umps or the play stops you,' one fan wrote. 'Olson did exactly what he should've done.' Another fan pointed out that Jazz Chisholm once circled the bases while Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his ACL, adding, 'Nobody said a word.' One hot take even suggested Olson should 'catch one in the ribs' next time up—a sentiment quickly shot down by fans who felt Olson did nothing wrong. Despite the controversy, Olson's unexpected hustle play reminded everyone that even in an era dominated by exit velocity and analytics, effort still matters. Hopefully, Callihan's injury proves to be less severe than it looked. But for better or worse, this play is likely to be remembered for far more than the scoreboard.

Reds' Tyler Callihan departs game with broken forearm after crashing into wall
ATLANTA — Cincinnati Reds rookie Tyler Callihan left Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves after breaking his left forearm upon running into a wall at Truist Park while trying to make a diving catch. Callihan, playing in his fourth big-league game, walked off the field under his own power. With a runner on first and two out in the third inning, Matt Olson lined an opposite-field fly ball down the left-field line. Callihan raced over and attempted to make a catch just inside the line. The ball was briefly in his glove before he collided awkwardly and at full speed with the padded wall in foul territory, the force of the collision bending his left arm at a gruesome angle as his entire body crashed into the wall. Advertisement The ball popped out and he immediately took off his glove and grabbed his left arm with his right hand, grimacing in pain as Olson circled the bases. Callihan lay writhing on the ground, the ball a few feet away from him, until trainers reached him. After a minute or two, he was helped off the field, Callihan walking and holding his arm as he made his way to the dugout. The play was initially ruled no catch, and after the Reds challenged the call, it was upheld, the two-run homer extending Atlanta's lead to 4-0. ❤️🙏 @tylercallihan1 — Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) May 6, 2025 Injuries have been part of 24-year-old Callihan's path to the big leagues. Drafted out of high school in the third round in 2019, Callihan played in rookie ball that year, but he, like everyone else in the minors, sat out the entire 2020 season due to COVID-19. Just 23 games into the 2021 season, Callihan tore his ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow making a diving play in the infield and missed the rest of the season. The next spring, Callihan was involved in a car accident and suffered a torn ligament in his thumb, limiting him to 88 games in 2022. After a healthy 2023, Callihan broke his finger trying to bunt last season, costing him two months of play. Callihan hit .271/.345/.413 with eight homers in 69 games for Double-A Chattanooga last season before being promoted to Triple A at the end of the season. In four games there, he recorded five hits. After being added to the 40-man roster this offseason, Callihan was in big-league camp this spring. He had 27 hits in 24 games with the Bats to start the season, hitting .303/.410/.528 before being called up last week when the Reds put veteran infielder Jeimer Candelario on the injured list. Callihan's first big-league hit came Saturday on an RBI single. This story will be updated.

Daniel Callihan ruled competent to stand trial
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — After undergoing a second mental evaluation, Judge Lance Affrick has ruled Daniel Callihan competent to stand trial. Callihan is accused of killing Tangipahoa Parish mother Callie Brunett, and the kidnapping and murder of one of her two young daughters in 2023. Callihan has been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and one count of second-degree kidnapping. Murder trial against Bunnak Landon continues day into fourth day Callihan's lawyer Kerry Cuccia agrees with the testimony that Callihan is competent as long as he is taking the correct medication. 'When you have someone who has a mental condition like Mr. Callahan, it is key to get the right dosage. It was clear that the dosage he has now is, if the increased dosage is the appropriate dosage. So just exactly what Doctor Dillon had seen earlier, the lower dosage was creating problems for competency. Those problems have been solved by the proper dosage of medication,' said Cuccia.
