In MLB camp Stewart (wrist) will be part of major-league camp in spring training, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stewart, the 32nd overall pick in the 2022 draft, batted .279/.391/.454 with eight home runs and 46 RBI over 80 games at High-A Dayton. A July wrist injury prematurely ended his season. An advanced approach at the dish is Stewart's calling card; he has nearly as many walks (138) as strikeouts (139) and owns a 15.7 career strikeout rate during his stay in the minors. Stewart split his time evenly between second and third base at Dayton and is expected to open this season at Double-A Chattanooga.

Should be ready for spring training Stewart (wrist) was swinging a bat in October and should be fully ready for spring training, Baseball America reports.

Impact He injured his wrist in an off-field accident in mid-July and was working his way back from the injury at the Reds' spring training complex before injuring it further and needing surgery. Stewart is a bat-first prospect who makes good swing decisions and a lot of contact with burgeoning power. He might be able to handle third base or second base, but could also slide to first base/designated hitter.

Out with hand/wrist injury High-A Dayton placed Stewart on the 7-day injured list July 17 with a hand injury, MLB.com reports.

Impact There are some message board posts suggesting Stewart tore a tendon in his wrist and had surgery, but there hasn't been any firm reporting on that. Nonetheless, it seems quite possible Stewart's season is over, as he hasn't played since July 14. Stewart is capable of playing third and second base and slashed .279/.391/.454 with eight home runs, 10 steals, a 14.8 percent walk rate and a 16.9 percent strikeout rate in 80 games for the Dragons.
