Cincinnati signed Toglia to a minor-league contract Wednesday, per the MLB transactions page.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Rockies non-tendered Toglia on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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. Most of the 27-year-old's struggles came on the road, as he posted just a .481 OPS across 178 plate appearances away from Coors Field, which doesn't exactly help his chances of finding regular big-league work with any of the other 29 clubs.

The Rockies designated Toglia for assignment Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis
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.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia's lone hit of the night went deep to left field in the seventh. It was his first hit since July 18 and just his second home run since June 19. There's known power in Toglia's bat, but he has played himself out of a regular role at first base due to his cold hitting.

Toglia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia appears to have lost of his regular role 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).

Toglia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia will take a seat for the second time in the series while he's batting just .155/.231/.239 with a 39.7 percent strikeout rate over his last 20 games. Kyle Farmer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, and Toglia could soon be headed back to Triple-A Albuquerque if he's unable to cut down on the strikeouts in his future starts.
