Undergoing shoulder surgery Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Toglia will undergo surgery to repair a dislocated right shoulder, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Toglia dislocated his shoulder while making a diving catch during Friday's win over the Diamondbacks, and after tests and consultations, surgery has been determined to be the best option for the 28-year-old. If the procedure is season-ending, then Toglia will end the year having gone 3-for-26 (.115) with an RBI and two doubles across 10 major-league games, along with a .920 OPS with four steals, 22 home runs and 65 RBI over 402 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville.

Gets optimistic prognosis X-rays on Toglia's dislocated right shoulder came back negative, Patrick Brown of MLB.com reports.

Impact Toglia was removed from Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks after extending to make a diving catch in the first inning. The outfielder is "optimistic" about his prognosis, while manager Terry Francona said the injury looked worse than it was. "They put it back in, and there's some thought that he might be OK," Francona said. The team's optimism makes the injury more of a day-to-day thing. Toglia was replaced in left field by TJ Friedl.

Dislocates shoulder Toglia was removed from Friday's game against the Diamondbacks with a dislocated right shoulder, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toglia dislocated his shoulder while making a diving catch in the first inning. The 28-year-old has been getting regular playing time since the Reds called him up from Triple-A last week, but he could now be facing a trip to the injured list.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Getting steady playing time Toglia will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's contest against the Cardinals.

Impact It's Toglia's second start in right field and sixth start in 10 games since being called up from Triple-A Louisville. He's gone just 3-for-19 with a 2:8 BB:K thus far. Lefty swinger Hector Rodriguez is likely to see most of the reps in right field against right-handed pitching, but the switch-hitting Toglia could settle in on the short side of a platoon in right field while also seeing occasional starts at other positions.

Joins big-league club The Reds selected Toglia's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Toglia has spent the entire season at Louisville, where he slashed .273/.373/.547 with 22 homers, 65 RBI, 49 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 56:103 BB:K across 402 trips to the plate. The switch-hitting Toglia possesses plus power but owns an inflated 35 percent strikeout rate spanning 1,067 big-league plate appearances. He has the ability to play first base and right field and will likely see some at-bats at designated hitter.

Cut from big-league camp The Reds reassigned Toglia to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Non-tendered by the Rockies in November after hitting just .190 with a 39.2 percent strikeout rate in 88 games in the majors last season, Toglia caught on with the Reds on a minor-league deal over the winter and received the chance to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster. However, Toglia showed no signs of improving his poor contact rate during the early stages of Cactus League play, striking out in four of his nine at-bats. The 27-year-old switch-hitter should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Triple-A Louisville to begin the season, but he'll likely need to cut down on his strikeouts before he gets another look in the majors.

Lands with Reds on MiLB deal Cincinnati signed Toglia on Wednesday, per the MLB transactions page.

Impact Toglia looked to be a key part of Colorado's future when he posted a .767 OPS with 25 home runs, 55 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 457 plate appearances for the big-league club in 2024, but the 2019 first-round draft pick dropped off dramatically last year, slashing just .190/.258/.353 with 11 long balls, 32 RBI and three steals across 337 plate appearances. He's always demonstrated plenty of power and went deep 11 times over 42 contests for Triple-A Albuquerque last year, but Toglia has also struggled making a contact, and he posted an awful 39.2 percent strikeout rate with the Rockies in 2025. That was a large part of the reason why Colorado DFA'd and subsequently non-tendered him in November. However, the Reds will give him a chance to make an impression, though Toglia will likely open the season in the minors unless he puts up a big performance during spring training.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • MLB.COM

Officially parts ways with Rockies The Rockies non-tendered Toglia on Friday.

Impact After finishing the 2024 season with a .767 OPS, Toglia's offensive production dropped dramatically in 2025, as he finished the year slashing .190/.258/.353 after 337 plate appearances. The 27-year-old's sudden inability to make an impact at the plate while playing in Colorado's extremely hitter-friendly environment certainly creates some concern, though he should still be able to receive another opportunity via free agency.

DFA'd by Colorado The Rockies designated Toglia for assignment Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Toglia looked like he was set to be Colorado's first baseman of the future heading into last season, when he opened as the team's primary first baseman. However, the 2019 first-round draft pick struggled mightily during his time in the majors, posting a .190/.258/.353 slash line with a 39.2 percent strikeout rate. While Toglia flashed big power with 25 homers across 457 plate appearances in 2024 and went deep 11 times across 42 games with Triple-A Albuquerque last season, his poor contact against major-league pitching ultimately led to his removal from the Rockies' 40-man roster.

NOVEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Toglia was brought up from Triple-A on Tuesday, but after going 0-for-7 with six strikeouts across three games, he'll lose his spot on the active roster. Blaine Crim was recalled from Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Tuesday Toglia was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Toglia will return to the big leagues after being sent down to Albuquerque on Aug. 3, batting .367 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 16 runs scored over 25 contests following his demotion. The 27-year-old will replace Warming Bernabel (concussion) on the major-league roster after Bernabel was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Losing out on regular starts Toglia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Toglia appears to be on shaky ground atop the depth chart at first base; he'll be on the bench Sunday for the third time in four games. Since getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 16, Toglia has hit .193 with four home runs and one steal in 30 games while continuing to strike out at a high rate (37.3 percent).
