Spencer Steer News
Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer went 3-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 9-0 shutout win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Steer was a home run away from the cycle in this one as he opened up the scoring with his first three-bagger of the season. After he laced an RBI triple off Justin Steele to score Matt McLain he picked up two more hits, a double and a single. Steer is now slashing .285/.353/.478 to go along with six home runs, 23 RBI, and one stolen base over 186 at-bats. The 25-year-old rookie continues to impress and is worthy of being rostered in 12-team mixed leagues.
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer will return to the lineup Thursday after dealing with a knee/quadriceps issue over the last few days. The 25-year-old will be a welcomed addition to the Reds' lineup as he's off to a hot start this season. Steer is hitting .320 with two homers, one steal, and a .944 OPS across 59 trips to the plate. It's a marked improvement over his big-league debut from last season in which he scuffled to a .211 average with two homers and a .632 OPS across 28 games in his age-24 season. He does have a lengthy history of hitting for power in the minor leagues and could be a solid source of home runs while playing his home games at the hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. He'll take on a fellow youngster in Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras Thursday night.
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer (knee) was removed during the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Manager David Bell said the MRI came back negative for structural damage on Steer's knee. That being said, the 25-year-old is considered day-to-day with right knee soreness. It doesn't sound like Steer is going to need a trip to the injured list. The expectation is that he'll likely be out of the starting lineup for a few days.

A compact infielder, standing just under 6' feet tall and listed at 185 pounds, Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer doesn't strike an intimidating pose at the plate. However, the former third-round selection from the University of Oregon took an already-keen eye at the plate when he was drafted and worked on settling into his back leg in his batting stance, allowing him to access his power more consistently. Steer returned from retooling his swing throughout the pandemic season and has powered out 47 home runs in the past two seasons in the minor leagues and a pair of home runs over 28 games in the major leagues in 2022. After picking up Steer in a trade last summer, the Reds cleared a path for him to start every day this year by releasing incumbent third baseman Mike Moustakas. Steer's power should play well in Great American Ball Park, though he may not hit for a high average. His on-base skills are polished, and he only strikes out a little, despite a strong uppercut swing. ATC projects Steer with a .312 wOBA and a 93 wRC+ over 461 plate appearances in 2023. There's potential for a very excellent value here for a guy going off as the 45th third baseman and 415th player overall.
