Spencer Steer Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/outfielder Spencer Steer (neck) was originally part of the team's lineup for Monday's game, but he had to be scratched due to neck spasms. Steer's playing time has been limited over the last couple of weeks since the arrival of top prospect Sal Stewart, who moved from third base to first base in Monday's lineup adjustment. Steer is hitting only .208 since the All-Star break, but does have six home runs in those 46 games. On the season, he has 17 homers, a .237 batting average, and a .309 wOBA. Steer could be back in the lineup soon as the Reds chase the NL Wild Card, but for now, he's considered day-to-day.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Athletics. This appears to be a rest day for Steer who has sat out in three of the last four games. Steer has struggled lately, slashing .200/.333./200 without any home runs or RBI over the last week. In his absence, Sal Stewart will cover first base and bat sixth against right-hander Luis Severino. At this point, Steer is starting to fall off the fantasy radar and is becoming more of a deep league option.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer (leg) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays at Great American Ball Park. Rookie Sal Stewart will make another start at first base and will hit sixth against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. A leg injury will cause Steer to miss his second straight start, although he did come off the bench in Monday's series opener, suggesting he could return to the starting nine as early as Wednesday's tilt. Stewart made his major-league debut in Monday's win over Toronto and went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout. Steer is hitting only .235 (107-for-455) but should reach the 20-homer mark for the third straight season with the Reds. He's currently sitting at 17 homers and 63 RBI in 128 games. He's mostly disappointed in the steals department (six) after swiping a career-high 25 in 2024.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer (leg) is out of the lineup on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Manager Terry Francona said the Reds are resting Steer because he has been playing through a leg injury. Top infield prospect Sal Stewart, making his major league debut, will fill in for Steer at first base and bat sixth against right-hander Chris Bassitt. Stewart has slashed a superb .309/.383/.524 with 20 homers, 80 RBI, 78 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 494 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A this season. The 21-year-old is versatile enough to play multiple positions in the infield, and Francona indicated that he'll receive plenty of opportunities during the final month of the season.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer (hand) is back in his team's lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies. Steer was hit in the hand by a pitch on Wednesday during a suspended game with the Red Sox, and the swelling forced him from their night outing. Fortunately, he was only required to miss one contest, as he'll slot back in at first base, batting fifth against Boston. The Oregon product turned it around in June to slash a crisp .302/.320/.521 with half of his ten homers, and has brought his overall average to a respectable .252 -- a nice bounce back from the .225 he posted a season ago.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/outfielder Spencer Steer (hand) was scratched from Wednesday night's game in Boston, but since X-rays were negative, he has been diagnosed with a hand contusion. Steer was hit by a pitch by Bryan Bello in the seventh inning of the suspended game, which resumed on Wednesday afternoon. He was able to finish that game, but the injury swelled to the point where he was scratched on Wednesday night. Manager Terry Francona said, "We didn't think it made a whole lot of sense to play him. We'll see how he shows up tomorrow. Depending on how he's feeling, we'll see what to do." Steer could end up with a quick stint on the injured list, or he could be back in the lineup as soon as Friday in Philadelphia. Keep a close eye out for an update on Steer's hand and availability for the last week before the All-Star break.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer (hand) has been scratched ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Steer was hit in the hand by a pitch during the first game of the doubleheader earlier in the day. He was originally cleared to play in this game, but now they've decided to take the cautious approach. In his absence, Christian Encarnacion-Strand will take over the cold corner and bat eighth on Wednesday. It's worth noting that Encarnacion-Strand fouled a ball off his foot earlier on Wednesday and was out of the original lineup. He'll battle through the injury and play in the nightcap.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer (hand) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This is basically a doubleheader for the two teams who resumed play of a suspended game earlier in the day. During that game, Steer was hit in the hand by a pitch in the seventh inning. Despite that, Steer is in the lineup for the nightcap. He did experience swelling in his hand, but will play again just hours after getting hit. Steer finished the first game 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in the loss. He'll bat fifth and cover first base versus left-hander Brennan Bernardino for Game 2.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer smashed three home runs on Friday as his club coasted to an 8-1 victory over the San Diego Padres. Steer clubbed a pair of solo homers off right-hander Dylan Cease and added a two-run shot against lefty Yuki Matsui in a 3-for-4 night. Friday's incredible performance aside, this has been a somewhat disappointing season for Steer. He's hitting .251/.303/.404 with nine homers, 31 RBI, 33 runs, six steals, and a career-low 6.7% walk rate in 297 plate appearances. Worsening matters, the 27-year-old also ranks near the bottom of the league in most key Statcast categories. However, Steer has been heating up lately with six multi-hit games since June 18.

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Cleveland against the Guardians at Progressive Field. Christian Encarnacion-Strand is starting at first base and will bat cleanup, while Santiago Espinal is at the hot corner and is hitting seventh against Guardians right-hander Luis L. Ortiz. Steer just hasn't gotten going in 2025, but it's important to note he was battling through a shoulder injury early in the year. He's currently slashing a disappointing .226/.294/.327 with a career-worst .621 OPS, four homers, 20 RBI and 24 runs scored in 59 games. His xBA of .230 doesn't suggest things will get much better anytime soon, either. Encarnacion-Strand has hit just .229 (16-for-70) on the year, but he's looked good since returning from the injured list and already has five homers in 18 games on the season.
