• Reds' Cam Collier: Power sapped at Double-A

  09/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Collier is slashing .342/.435/.430 with one home run, four doubles, a 14.1 percent walk rate and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate in his last 21 games for Double-A Chattanooga. Collier, who underwent left thumb surgery in mid-March, was activated June 3 for High-A Dayton and then quickly promoted to Chattanooga, as he had already mastered High-A to close 2024. The thumb issue appears to have sapped Collier's power this season, as he hit 20 homers in 119 games last year and has three homers in 92 games this year, with just one of those coming in 71 games at Double-A. Given that Collier's plate skills have improved as the season has gone on, and that he has shown plus raw power as a teenager in the past, he's a worthwhile buy-low target this offseason. The lefty-hitting first baseman should split his age-21 season between Double-A and Triple-A.

  High-A Dayton activated Collier (thumb) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 19, playing in 10 games and accumulating 42 plate appearances. Though he'll remain with Dayton for the time being, MLB.com relays that Collier is expected to move up to Double-A Chattanooga in short order.

• Reds' Cam Collier: Conducting rehab in ACL

  06/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Collier (thumb) is batting .394/.524/.636 over 42 plate appearances across 10 rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Collier began the assignment May 19 and will eventually return to action for High-A Dayton after having spent all season on the injured list while recovering from left thumb surgery. He's played mostly at first base (seven games) during his rehab assignment, with one start coming at third base and two at designated hitter. Collier spent most of his first three seasons of professional ball at third base, but the organization may be preparing him to move across the diamond in 2025.

• Reds' Cam Collier: Requires thumb surgery

  03/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Reds manager Terry Francona announced that Collier is scheduled to have surgery Thursday on his injured left thumb, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Collier is expected to resume hitting in 4-to-6 weeks. The top prospect was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday. Collier is coming off a 2024 season in which he slashed .248/.355/.443 with 20 home runs over 507 plate appearances at High-A Dayton. The thumb surgery shouldn't dramatically affect Collier's long-term outlook, but it could inhibit his power production once he's able to make his 2025 debut in late April or early May.
