INJURIES
Tests out thumb guard Stephenson (thumb) played catch and blocked softer baseballs Monday in a test of the thumb guard fitted for his catcher's mitt, MLB.com reports.
Impact Stephenson was encouraged by the activity and is scheduled to take batting practice Friday. The Reds remain in the mix for a wild-card spot, so if Stephenson is deemed capable of playing through a left thumb fracture, he'll likely return from the 10-day injured list in early September.

Tests thumb guard Stephenson (thumb) played catch and blocked softer practice balls in a test of the thumb guard fitted for his catcher's mitt Monday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Stephenson was encouraged by the activity and is scheduled to take batting practice Friday. The Reds remain in the mix for a wild card spot, sitting just 2.5 games back, so if Stephenson is ready for game action, it's likely he'll play as long as Cincinnati has a shot at the postseason.

Being fitted for thumb guard The Reds are having Stephenson (thumb) fitted for a thumb guard that will be inserted inside a catcher's mitt, MLB.com reports.
Impact Stephenson sustained a fractured left thumb earlier this month and was placed on the injured list Aug. 20 (retroactive to Aug. 17). That he's being fitted for a guard indicates the club feels Stephenson can still play this season; however, Cincinnati will proceed with caution and let the fracture heal before speculating on a timeframe for his return.

Heads to IL with fractured thumb The Reds placed Stephenson on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a fractured left thumb.
Impact Cincinnati had previously labeled the injury that had kept Stephenson from playing in the last four games as a sore thumb, but X-rays evidently revealed that the backstop sustained structural damage to the finger. The team hasn't provided word on the severity of the fracture nor indicated whether Stephenson will require surgery, so his timeline for a return is unclear at the moment. Cincinnati called up Will Banfield from Triple-A Louisville to provide the team with another option behind the plate, but Jose Trevino is expected to receive the bulk of the starts at catcher while Stephenson is on the shelf.
