The Cincinnati Reds place versatile infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain, and he is expected to miss a significant amount of time. Reports say Steer leaves a game against the St. Louis Cardinals after fouling a pitch off the end of his bat in the fifth inning, with the injury affecting his availability shortly afterward. The Reds respond by recalling infielder/outfielder Ivan Johnson from Triple-A Louisville. The move comes about a week before the MLB trade deadline, with Cincinnati still looking toward potential roster changes while positioned in the lower part of the NL Central standings. One report also notes that Steer has been on track for continued power production, aiming for his fourth consecutive season with 20 or more home runs, and that he can play multiple positions. With Steer sidelined, the Reds’ plans around lineup flexibility and any near-deadline activity are affected by his absence.
