Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer turned in a big game in his team's 9-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Steer went 1-for-4 at the plate with a homer, a walk, two runs, and three RBI in the victory. The veteran's three-run homer came in the first inning off LA starter James Paxton and traveled 390 feet with a 101.1 MPH exit velocity. Steer's batting average of .224 this season isn't great but he's contributing in the other categories with five homers, 24 runs, 34 RBI, and 11 steals across 172 at-bats. Despite the low average, Steer needs to stay in fantasy lineups for his steals and run production alone.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer (ankle) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting San Diego Padres and right-hander Michael King, playing first base and batting sixth in the order. A sore ankle kept Steer out for the last two games, but he'll return for fantasy managers on Wednesday in the second game of the series. The 26-year-old right-handed hitter will be hoping to get on track at the plate after last appearing on Sunday as a pinch-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) currently on the injured list, Steer is likely going to continue seeing most of his playing time at first base. Steer is batting .224 (36-for-161) with four homers, 31 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 161 at-bats on the year. He remains useful in all fantasy formats for his power/speed combination in a dangerous Reds lineup.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer (ankle) is sitting out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday against the visiting San Diego Padres. Steer didn't play on Sunday and remains sidelined despite the Reds having a scheduled day off on Monday. The 26-year-old was able to make a pinch-hitting appearance on Sunday, though, and says he's available off the bench once again on Tuesday. It means that Steer is unlikely to land on the injured list, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. In his absence on Tuesday, rookie Jacob Hurtubise is starting in left field and batting leadoff against Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove, who is making his first start off the injured list. Hurtubise has DFS sleeper upside in the leadoff spot and has gone 2-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout in his first six big-league games this year.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer (ankle) was limited to a pinch-hitting appearance in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and drew a walk in the seventh inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner. After the game, manager David Bell revealed that Steer has been dealing with a sore ankle. "He was available for an at-bat. He should be back fully 100 percent on Tuesday," Bell said. It sounds as though Steer will be back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the visiting San Diego Padres, but fantasy managers will want to check back to make sure before returning him to starting lineups. The 26-year-old hasn't homered since May 1 and is batting just .167 (9-for-54) with 10 RBI in 16 games in the month of May to drop his season slash line to .224/.337/.373. Steer isn't swinging it well right now, but his combination of power and speed makes him attractive in all fantasy leagues.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old has struggled at the plate lately so they will give him the day off to rest. Santiago Espinal will get the start at third base, while Jeimer Candelario gets the nod at first base against right-hander Landon Knack. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer got the scoring started in Wednesday's 6-2 loss on the road to the San Diego Padres, smashing his fourth home run of the 2024 regular season and stealing a base. Steer took Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove yard for a 412-foot bomb to deep left center in the first inning, continuing what has been a prolific start to the campaign for him. The 26-year-old left fielder is building on his 2023 breakout thus far, slashing .252/.364/.450 with four long balls, 22 RBI, 18 runs scored, and eight stolen bases through 132 trips to the plate (31 outings) for the Reds. On tap for Steer is a three-game weekend series starting on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. In three games against Baltimore last season, Steer hit .400 (4-for-10) with one big fly, three RBI, three walks, and one pilfer.

Cincinnati Reds utilityman Spencer Steer continued his hot streak in Monday's 6-3 extra-innings win over the Phillies, going 2-for-5 with a double, a 10th-inning, go-ahead grand slam, and a strikeout. The 26-year-old has started 2024 where he left off in 2023, slashing .400/.471/.733 with seven RBI and a stolen base in his first 17 plate appearances. His multi-position eligibility and strong lineup context should keep Steer as a valuable fantasy asset in the early going.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer went 2-for-3 on Wednesday in a 19-11 Cactus League win over the Giants. One of Steer's hits went for extra bases, a double in the second inning, and he also walked once. The 26-year-old crossed the plate three times in the contest as well. The righty is now hitting .296 (8-for-27) in the spring, with one home run, five RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. Steer is a nice power-speed combo guy, with 23 HR and 15 SB in 665 PA last season. He also plays in one of the friendliest hitting environments around, Great American Ball Park, but his ADP has gotten a bit out in front of his RotoBaller rank, at 102 and 110 respectively.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder/infielder Spencer Steer chipped in three runs during Wednesday's 19-11 Cactus League win over the San Francisco Giants, going 2-for-3 with a walk. It was certainly a high-scoring affair on Wednesday, and Steer was able to maintain his strong spring returns. In 26 spring training at-bats, the versatile 26-year-old is batting .296 with an .836 OPS, one home run, five RBI, and three stolen bases. After his first stint in the big leagues went poorly in 2022, Steer was a revelation for the Reds a season ago and finished sixth in National League Rookie of the Year voting via a .271/.356/.464 slash line, 23 homers, 37 doubles, 86 RBI, and 15 stolen bases across 665 trips to the plate. Steer is a 2024 regression candidate due to his .252 xBA and .417 xSLG on Statcast, but his position eligibility is appealing, and Noelvi Marte's 80-game suspension means Steer will be needed for everyday ABs during at least the first half in Cincy.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer slugged a solo home run as part of a 2-2 tie on Thursday versus the Chicago Cubs. The 26-year-old didn't waste much time as his first homer of the spring got the Reds on the board in the bottom of the first inning. Steer impressed in his first full tour through the big leagues in the 2023 season, hitting .271 with 23 home runs, 15 stolen bases, 86 RBI, and an .820 OPS across 156 games and a hefty 665 trips to the plate. It was a big turn of events following his 28-game debut in the 2022 season in which he limped to a .211 average with two homers across 108 plate appearances. He projects for some regression with 20 homers and nine steals in the 2024 season and could be overvalued with a 114.6 ADP.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer went 1-for-3 with his first homer of the Cactus League on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs. Steer, 26, is one of the influx of young talented players that the Reds will deploy in their lineup and is coming off a season in which he helped managers across the board. In 2023, Steer hit a respectable .271 with 23 homers, 86 RBI and 15 stolen bases. The Reds young lineup offers plenty of potential heading into the season and Steer is not only going to be in the middle of it, but he might offer the most bang for managers buck with an ADP of 101. He is absolutely worth the attention of managers in all formats.

Cincinnati Reds multi-positional player Spencer Steer was 0-for-2 with a walk in a 10-4 Cactus League loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. After snagging two hits in his first spring game, Steer is now hitless in five straight at-bats, making him 2-for-8 with a walk, two RBI, and a run scored so far this spring. Steer had a breakout 2023 with a .271-23-86-74-15 line and is expected to put up similar numbers in 2024, although his projections are somewhat lighter across the board. The 15 steals were a welcome surprise after not stealing many bases during his minor league career. Combined with his multi-positional eligibility and hitting in one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in all of baseball make him an attractive asset going into 2024 drafts.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer could be set up to play the outfield regularly moving forward following the team's acquisition of corner infielder Jeimer Candelario this week. When the Reds traded for Steer in 2022, he brought up the idea of learning the outfield to the team's player development staff because he recognized that the Reds already had a surplus of infielders. The 26-year-old did make 38 starts in the outfield for the Reds in 2023, so it's not like he has absolute zero experience out there. Adding outfield eligibility to his fantasy profile would make Steer even more attractive to fantasy managers heading into draft season next spring after he slashed .271/.356/.464 with an .820 OPS, 23 home runs, 37 doubles, three triples, 86 RBI, 15 stolen bases and 74 runs scored in 156 games in his first full big-league season.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer is absent from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a routine day off for the right-handed slugger. Steer has been struggling at the plate lately, so he could use a day off to clear his head. Steer is 1-for-24 with 11 strikeouts over his last seven games. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh versus right-hander Logan Webb on Monday.

In his first full major-league season so far in 2023, Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer has made a name for himself. He's been a big part of the reason why the Reds head into this week's All-Star break sitting atop the National League Central division, as he's currently slashing .277/.367/.477 with an .844 OPS, 14 home runs, 19 doubles, two triples, 51 RBI, nine stolen bases and 45 runs scored in 376 trips to the plate over 88 games played. The 25-year-old former third-round pick of the Twins in 2019 did have a four-hit game on the Fourth of July last Tuesday, but he's heading into the break hitless in 15 at-bats in the last four games. Steer hasn't started out the month of July hitting that well, but he should remain a key piece of the Reds offense in the second half of the season, and he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer went 3-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 9-0 shutout win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Steer was a home run away from the cycle in this one as he opened up the scoring with his first three-bagger of the season. After he laced an RBI triple off Justin Steele to score Matt McLain he picked up two more hits, a double and a single. Steer is now slashing .285/.353/.478 to go along with six home runs, 23 RBI, and one stolen base over 186 at-bats. The 25-year-old rookie continues to impress and is worthy of being rostered in 12-team mixed leagues.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer will return to the lineup Thursday after dealing with a knee/quadriceps issue over the last few days. The 25-year-old will be a welcomed addition to the Reds' lineup as he's off to a hot start this season. Steer is hitting .320 with two homers, one steal, and a .944 OPS across 59 trips to the plate. It's a marked improvement over his big-league debut from last season in which he scuffled to a .211 average with two homers and a .632 OPS across 28 games in his age-24 season. He does have a lengthy history of hitting for power in the minor leagues and could be a solid source of home runs while playing his home games at the hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. He'll take on a fellow youngster in Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras Thursday night.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer (knee) was removed during the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Manager David Bell said the MRI came back negative for structural damage on Steer's knee. That being said, the 25-year-old is considered day-to-day with right knee soreness. It doesn't sound like Steer is going to need a trip to the injured list. The expectation is that he'll likely be out of the starting lineup for a few days.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer was removed during the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The right-handed slugger felt something after fielding a ground ball. The Reds decided to take the cautious approach and remove Steer from the contest. The expectation is that Steer will undergo further testing, but it's uncertain what he's dealing with right now. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.

After struggling in his first look at the majors last September, Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer has flipped the script this spring. In 39 at-bats, he owns a blistering .913 OPS, including six extra-base hits. He's showcasing why the Reds targeted him as a core piece in the Tyler Mahle trade. Cincinnati has yet to confirm Steer as their starting third baseman, but all signs point to him as the overwhelming favorite. Steer smacked 23 home runs and posted an .879 OPS across 106 games between Double-A and Triple-A last season, demonstrating offensive upside that should excite the Reds and fantasy managers.
