Player Outlook
Reds manager David Bell said before the 2023 season that the goal was for Tyler Stephenson to catch roughly 65 games. Stephenson ended up making 92 appearances at catcher (78 starts) to go along with 43 appearances at designated hitter (40 starts) and eight at first base (four starts). While new arrivals to Cincinnati cemented themselves at the major-league level, Stephenson's play raised more questions than it answered in regards to his long-term future with the organization. He hit a mere five home runs in 271 plate appearances away from Great American Ball Park. By FanGraphs' WAR formula, Stephenson was below replacement level in his 142 games. He's suffered at least three concussions in his playing career and one more could force a move out from behind the plate, if his poor defense doesn't necessitate a move sooner. Now entering his arbitration years, Stephenson's starts at DH could take a big hit as the Reds find at-bats for other talented young players.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Sitting out nightcap

    Rotowire
    Stephenson is not in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Atlanta. Stephenson went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs while catching all nine innings of the Reds' 9-4 win in the first game of the day, so his absence from the lineup from the nightcap is expected. Austin Wynns will start behind the plate for the Reds in Game 2.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Getting day off

    Rotowire
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. Stephenson went 1-for-6 with a solo home run and two walks while starting behind the plate in the first two games of the series, but he'll be given the afternoon off as the Reds look to avoid a three-game sweep in Washington. Austin Wynns will draw the start at catcher Sunday.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: July power surge continues

    Rotowire
    Stephenson went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals. Stephenson's third-inning homer was his 11th of the season and fifth in the last eight games. The catcher is batting .308 with a 1.152 OPS over the last 10 contests.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Keeps mashing

    Rotowire
    Stephenson went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Rockies. Stephenson's three-run shot in the third inning was all the Reds needed, but he added another homer -- a two-run blast -- in the seventh. It was quite a series for the catcher, who mashed four home runs and drove in eight over the three-game set. The 27-year-old backstop is up to 10 home runs in 76 games, putting him on pace to wipe out the career-high 13 he swatted in 2023.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Stays hot Wednesday

    Rotowire

Stephenson has feasted on Colorado pitching, going 6-for-13 with five extra-base hits over the first three games of this week's series. Prior to Tuesday, he had gone 22 games without a multi-hit effort.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Day of rest Thursday

    Rotowire

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Returns to action

    Rotowire
    Stephenson started at catcher, batted fifth and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees. Stephenson's availability to play was thrown into doubt after the Reds transferred him from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Transferred to emergency list

    Rotowire
    The Reds transferred Stephenson (personal) from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list Monday. Stephenson had been away for the last three games while on the paternity list. By rule, players can miss 3-to-7 days while on the family medical emergency list, whereas he would have to be activated ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees had he remained on the paternity list. Luke Maile and Austin Wynns will handle catching duties for Cincinnati while Stephenson is away.

    Rotowire

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Still out Saturday

    Rotowire
    Stephenson (undisclosed) isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Red Sox. Manager David Bell said Friday that Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. It's still unclear what the 27-year-old backstop is dealing with, but it's enough to sideline him for a second consecutive game Saturday. While he recovers, Luke Maile will pick up another start behind the plate and bat eighth.
