Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Robert Stephenson rejoined the clubs active roster prior to Mondays contest against Milwaukee. Stephenson had been sidelined since July 28 due to a mid-back strain, having appeared just once all season. The Cincinnati relief corps can use all the reinforcements that it can get, having amassed a 5.59 ERA through its first 26 games. Stephenson figures to be a vital cog for the group, and could see his role expand, potentially snagging save opportunities should Raisel Iglesias need the day off.
