 During spring training in 2014, Culbreth was part of the first use of expanded replay in an MLB game.After Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons elected to challenge a safe call made by Culbreth, who was umpiring at first base, replay umpire Brian O'Nora upheld the ruling following a video review that lasted 2 minutes and 34 seconds.During a game in 2013 between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Culbreth, acting as the crew chief for the game, made an incorrect call in the 7th inning, for which he later received a two-game suspension and a fine.
