He later signed up with the Cincinnati Reds and made his major league debut on April 19, 1952. Temple played for the Reds, the Cleveland Indians and the Houston Colt .45s during his 11-season career.
Temple was known for his brilliant infield play, particularly in turning double plays. He won the National League's Gold Glove Award for second base in 1958 and led the league in fielding percentage the same year. He was also an expert at handling the bat as he had 1,142 hits, a batting average of .284, and 288 stolen bases in his career. One of the highlights of Temple's career was his participation in the 1961 All-Star Game, where he represented the Reds.
