Steer is expected to be 100 percent recovered in time for the start of spring training.

Cleared to increase activity Steer (wrist) was cleared Friday to begin range-of-motion activity, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Steer was examined in Phoenix (Ariz.) by a specialist, who cleared him to increase activity. "All is going really well," manager Terry Francona said. "He will begin more range of motion [exercises], start to get a bat in his hand." That's good news for Steer, but it doesn't guarantee he'll return before the end of the regular season. "The goal is we want him to have a normal offseason," Francona said. "We might be pushing it if we try to do it by the end of the season." The Reds are considering having Steer play in the Arizona Fall League, which is typically reserved for prospects.

Could miss remainder of season Steer (wrist) may not return before the end of the season, Patrick Brown of MLB.com reports.

Impact Steer had a follow-up visit with an orthopedic surgeon Friday. He has not yet been recommended for surgery, and the preferred path going forward is to avoid that if possible. "It still obviously is a problem," Steer said Friday. "I'm just trying to do everything I can to let the body heal, and then see what we've got in a couple of weeks." Steer is focusing on lower-body work for now, but given where the Reds sit in the standings and their chances of making the playoffs, the most prudent course of action is not to rush him back.

Shelved by sprained wrist The Reds placed Steer on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right wrist sprain.

Impact Steer suffered the injury on an awkward swing during Sunday's contest in St. Louis. The Reds have not yet revealed a timetable for Steer, but Buster Olney of ESPN reported earlier Monday that the 28-year-old is expected to miss "significant time." Noelvi Marte could see a playing time bump for the Reds while Steer is sidelined.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss 'significant time' The Reds are expected to place Steer on the injured list Monday after he suffered a right wrist injury that is likely to cost him "significant time," Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Impact Steer was forced out of Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals in the fifth inning, after he fouled a pitch off the end of his bat. The Reds labeled his injury as right wrist pain and indicated that he would visit a specialist Monday for further imaging. While the team has yet to provide an official update on Steer's status, Olney's report suggests that an MRI revealed a major injury. With a .740 OPS over 98 games this season, the versatile Steer was expected to be a coveted right-handed bat ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, but his impending move to the IL will likely take any potential deal off the table.
