Supervisor David Bell stated Sunday that he is not sure if Stephenson (concussion) might be able to return from the 7-day injured record in time for the Reds’ collection in Colorado that begins Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic stories.
Since he was positioned on the 7-day injured record retroactive to April 20, Stephenson is technically eligible to return for the ultimate two recreation of the Reds’ house collection with the Padres on Wednesday and Thursday, however Bell’s feedback suggest that the backstop will not clear the concussion protocol by then. Stephenson would not sound like he is a lock to make it again for the weekend both, doubtlessly making Aramis Garcia a pretty short-term pickup each in leagues that begin one or two catchers. Although he is out of the lineup Sunday towards the Cardinals, Garcia began every of the Reds’ final 4 video games and went 4-for-11 with two runs.
