Overview
- Steer left Sunday’s game after fouling a pitch and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right wrist sprain.
- Manager Terry Francona said the club will get imaging and a hand-specialist evaluation to determine the severity and whether surgery is needed.
- Beat reports say Steer is wearing a brace and the team hopes to avoid surgery, with a planned recheck in about two weeks.
- Cincinnati recalled infielder/outfielder Ivan Johnson from Triple-A Louisville as the corresponding roster move.
- Steer’s expected multi-week absence likely removes him from near-term trade consideration and shrinks the market for right-handed power bats, altering the Reds’ deadline strategy and the plans of potential suitors.
