Reds Place Infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer on 10-Day Injured List with Right Wrist Sprain
ESPN’s Buster Olney said Steer will miss significant time after a swing-related injury ended his game Sunday and put his trade status in doubt.
The Cincinnati Reds placed Spencer Steer on the Injured List on Monday after the 28-year-old suffered a hand-wrist injury during Sunday's game, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
Before the injury, The Athletic's Jim Bowden recently identified Steer as a trade target for the Seattle Mariners, praising his versatility across multiple defensive positions.
Through 98 games this season, Steer recorded 16 home runs and 40 RBI, positioning him to set career highs after hitting 20 or more homers in each of the past three seasons.
Manager Terry Francona said, "That makes me nervous," after Sunday's game, with the team confirming Steer will miss significant time beyond a standard 10-day stint.
The injury removes Steer from the trade market ahead of the deadline in seven days, likely pushing potential trade discussions for the 28-year-old to the winter instead.
