Watch: Reds' Tyler Stephenson homers in first at-bat of rehab assignment with Louisville Tyler Stephenson is on rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville, recovering from an injured catching thumb.

Tejay Antone - Returns from 60-day IL Antone (elbow) has given up six earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 2.1 innings in three appearances for Double-A Chattanooga since being t...
Impact Antone had resided on Louisville's IL all season while he completed his recovery from April 12, 2024 surgery to repair the UCL and flexor tendon in his right elbow. The operation was the third Tommy John surgery of Antone's career, and given the sketchy track record of pitchers returning from two such procedures to become effective big leaguers, the odds are against the right-hander re-emerging as a reliable bullpen piece for Cincinnati. Though he pitched well over his five rehab outings in the Florida State League, Antone hasn't found much initial success since reporting to Chattanooga.

Spencer Steer - Back in action Wednesday Steer (leg) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Steer will return to the lineup after a two-game absence due to a minor leg injury. Top prospect Sal Stewart had started at first base in both of the previous two contests while Steer managed the leg issue, but the rookie could end up shifting into more of a utility role moving forward, assuming Steer is able to maintain health.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Sal Stewart - Heading to bench Wednesday Stewart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Following his promotion from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Stewart started at first base in the first two games of the series with Toronto and went 2-for-8 with a run scored. Though he'll be on the bench Wednesday while Spencer Steer (leg) checks back in at first base following a two-game absence, Stewart could still have a path to at least semi-regular playing time in September while moving between second base and designated hitter.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Martinez - Back in bullpen over weekend Martinez retired the lone batter he faced in relief and collected his second hold of the season in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Martinez had made four straight appearances as a starter from Aug. 9 through Aug. 26, but his last two outings have come out of the bullpen. Though the Reds scratched Nick Lodolo (illness) ahead of Tuesday's 12-9 loss to the Blue Jays, Martinez wasn't called upon for a spot start, as Cincinnati instead had Scott Barlow open the contest before he was followed by five other relievers. Cincinnati could consider moving Martinez back into the rotation if Lodolo ends up requiring a stint on the injured list, though the expectation at this time is that Lodolo will be ready to go the next time the Reds need a fifth starter.

Lyon Richardson - Summoned from minors The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Impact Richardson will provide the Reds with a fresh arm after they had a bullpen game Tuesday. He's collected a 3.93 ERA and 30:20 K:BB over 36.2 frames during his time with the big club this season.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Reiver Sanmartin - Jettisoned to minors The Reds optioned Sanmartin to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Impact Sanmartin gave the Reds 1.2 innings out of the bullpen in his lone day with the team giving up one unearned run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. Lyon Richardson is taking Sanmartin's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Austin Hays - Drives in four in Tuesday's loss Hays went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-9 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact The veteran outfielder launched a three-run homer off Jose Berrios in the second inning as the Reds tried to climb out of an early 8-1 hole, but they were never quite able to get level. Hays is up to 13 long balls on the season, including three in his last seven games, and since Aug. 15 he's slashing an impressive .306/.328/.548 with 15 RBI in 17 contests.

T.J. Friedl - Logs two hits, homer in loss Friedl went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 11-8 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact Friedl is heating up as the calendar flips to September. He's logged three consecutive multi-hit efforts, going 7-for-14 with a double, a home run and four RBI during that stretch. Tuesday's homer was his 11th of the season, and the runs upped his total to 73, second on the club behind Elly De La Cruz (95).

Tyler Stephenson - Catches simulated game Stephenson (thumb) caught two innings of a simulated game Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Stephenson caught for pitcher Chase Burns (elbow) as a final test for the thumb guard that's been fitted to his catcher's mitt. He previously caught in the bullpen and took batting practice in preparation for a rehab assignment that is scheduled to begin Wednesday.

Tyler Stephenson - Ready for rehab assignment Stephenson (thumb) caught two innings of a simulated game Tuesday and will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Stephenson was behind the plate for rehabbing right-hander Chase Burns' (elbow) throwing session as a final test for the thumb guard that's been fitted to his catcher's mitt. The backstop has been on the shelf since Aug. 20 due to a fractured thumb on his left (non-throwing) hand, but since he's been able to catch multiple bullpen sessions in addition to taking batting practice, he shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment. He could be a candidate for activation from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series with the Mets.
